Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine. -- LORD BYRON
Well, I got a good dose of "medicine" recently that reminded me of how great laughter is at making us feel better. I watched a video on home-made face masks and was crying I was laughing so hard. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrJaZsdjSz4&t=41s)
That made me think, wow, this is exactly what we need right now during this stressful time, we need laughter!
Here is just a list of the health benefits and the studies are below. I will be doing a blog article soon talking more about the heath benefits and also ways to incorporate laughter into your life. I also created a Laughter Playlist (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWL2s4DBx4Y&list=PLbK5lpL1cVnwJMuHQEPfwZlCI1_2fS9s3)9s3). Now laughter is very subjective, you may not find my choices funny, but hopefully you will come up with your own!
Physiological Benefits of Laughter
o Increases respiratory activity and oxygen exchange
o Stimulates hear rate and blood pressure followed by vasodilation and relaxation
o Increases mental alertness and memory, enhances learning and creativity
o Engages multiple parts of the brain, stimulating both hemispheres at the same time
o Creates endorphins that help with pain
o Reduces stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine
o Increases Dopamine and releases serotonin, both help with anxiety and depression
o Helps GI tract peristalsis and decreased stress helps digestion
o Boosts T-cells + natural killer cells for tumor and virus destruction and other parts
o Increases salivary immunoglobulin A which defends against infectious organisms entering the respiratory tract

Brain Salon is such an innovative product with something for almost everyone. You have a brain entrainment audio for a mental espresso, to chill out, to get razor sharp focus, to help fall asleep! I use it almost every day. I just listened to the High Energy Espresso to wake up from that afternoon mental slump.
This program has a great money back guarantee, they have very responsive customer service and there is really no risk to get a great brain entrainment variety pack.
Check it out and I would love to hear how you like it. One caution, they have a great free demo, but be advised they will email you every day for quite awhile. The information is good information, and if you determine its too much, you can always unsubscribe or choose a less frequent option like I have.

We have all heard of the 10,000 steps a day goal, but not everyone realizes that for most of us about 2,000 steps is about ONE mile of walking. If you are just starting to move more, then you want to make sure you don't hurt yourself by going from coach potato to 10,000 steps over night. The Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (which includes brisk walking) a week. That averages out to be about 30 minutes of brisk walking each day, which can be around 2 miles a day for most people. So you are probably wondering, what is a brisk pace? Well that depends on the individual, but a good guide is if you can have a conversation with some effort, and if you walk any faster you will feel "breathless". So if you can talk in short sentences, that is great, and that will be a different pace for each person.
A few other things to consider before doing a regular walking routine are:
- Get the right gear! Make sure you have good shoes and if you have any joint issues, consider getting a professional to help you choose a good walking shoe customized for you. This also includes dressing for the elements and the time of day, to include safety and reflective gear.
- Take and drink water, before, during and after walking. Hydration is important for your muscles and joints.
- Check out your walking course carefully. If you have mobility issues, ensure you are walking on a solid flat surface, perhaps a treadmill, outdoor track or a mall or shopping center.
- Warm up and cool down, gradually increase your pace to get muscles and joints loosened up. Also ensure you cool down, don't go for a walk and plop down and sit without cooling down.
- Gently stretch your muscles before and after walking. I'll be doing some stretching recommendation videos soon.
