Okay, that’s enough exercise for those couch potatoes! In this post we’ll move back to the healthy lifestyle side of things to get the ball rolling for some more healthy practices.

Here I want to talk about the power of the mind in your daily health routine. A lot of people still vastly underestimate their great store of power that is contained in their very own thoughts on the state of their health. Scientific studies have proved that the mind can not only heal the body in many cases every bit as well as a prescribed medicine, but it can also be responsible for the state of a person’s health as well.

When you’re in a negative, depressed and unhappy state, you are actually thinking yourself ill. You are more susceptible to colds, flu and any other nasty bugs that are flying around when you are run down.

On the flip side, when you are happy, upbeat and positive, you are much less likely to come down with a nasty cold or attract any other disease into your life. That’s because when you are in a happy, positive mode of thinking your own body’s immune system is working at it’s peak of efficiency to repel any virus of bacterial infection that might try to invade your body.

Conversely, when you’re down, depressed and unhappy, your immune system is struggling and will not be as effective at keeping out the continual barrage of airborne and contact germs and diseases that are just waiting for the crack in your body’s armor to infiltrate, occupy and multiply into a full blown disease.

So if you want to stay healthy, young looking and free of disease – be happy!
