Are the Benefits of Yoga Magnified By Laughter?

benefits of yoga

There are many benefits of Yoga.

  • Increases flexibility
  • Lubricates joints
  • Massages all the organs
  • Detoxification
  • Muscle toning
  • Establishes a mind-body-soul connection

Yoga is good for you.  It’s a no brainer!

I’ll bet it wouldn’t be hard to convince you that laughter is very beneficial as well.  Watch a comedy and you will feel the benefit.

Shoot, even if you fake a laugh, it still has beneficial effects!

  • Decreases stress hormones
  • Improves Immune System
  • Boosts Endorphins

Laughter really is the best medicine!  So how do you get more of it in your life?

How about starting everyday with a group laugh!

Dr. Madan Kutaria understands how beneficial laughter is for your health and well being.  In 1995 he started an infectious laugh that has spread around the world.

Laughter really is contagious!

Dr. Kutaria is right!  Let us all become as little children and laugh ourselves to well being!

The benefits of yoga and laughter are easy to claim for yourself!

The Weather Sucks, Why Is Exercise Important Anyway?

why is exercise so important

Weather messing with your exercise program?

I seem to be living under a perpetual gray cloud lately.  The clouds really aren’t all that bad, it’s the frigid trade winds that get to me.

Do you walk or jog first thing in the morning?

Isn’t it hard to get out there when it is raining, or worse yet snowing… and COLD?

You just feel like turning off the alarm and pulling the blanket over your head.

“Wake me up when it is sunny!”

Or maybe…. you are suffering at the other end of the spectrum.  Are your clothes dripping after your afternoon walk, and you feel like a noodle trying to lift a fork to your mouth at dinner?

The sun can really take it out of you, huh?

What is the alternative to suffering through the elements to get your daily exercise in?

Drive through traffic to the gym to run around in circles without a view?

Fun?  I don’t think so!

Why is exercise important anyway?

Is Exercise Worth Your Time?

  • Exercise strengthens your heart muscle.
  • If you lose muscle you lose bone.
  • Mental clarity is not associated with lazy people.
  • Exercise actually increases your metabolism AND your energy level.
  • Physical activity strengthens your immune system.

Are you still asking why is exercise important?

 

How can you keep the motivation-stealing weather from sabotaging your daily walk? Continue reading article →
