The Surprising Health Benefits Of Touch...
Dear Reader,
Science is coming to find that touch is perhaps the ultimate mind/body medicine. Not only does it lower blood pressure and heart rate, but it also serves to increase immune function and ease pain, not to mention having you feeling happier and less anxious. Better yet, it doesn't seem to matter if you're touching or being touched.
Here are some great ways to enjoy the benefits of touch...
1. Get a massage
Even a quick one at the mall or an inept one from your partner will do the trick. Anyone who's ever gotten a massage knows how it can help you unwind. But it's not all in your head, being massaged causes muscles to relax, your heartbeat to slow, your blood pressure to fall and levels of stress hormone cortisol to go down as well.
We know that cortisol suppresses the immune response says Roberta Lee, M.D. of New York City's Beth Israel Medical Center, but any activity that triggers the relaxation response will also trigger the restoration of your immune system.
2. Get (or Give) A Hug
When you embrace your partner, your mom, a child or close friend, your body is flooded with oxytocin, a so called "bonding hormone" that makes you feel secure and builds trust while also bringing down cortisol levels and reducing stress.
Women who get more hugs from partners were found to have higher levels of oxytocin and lower blood pressure and heart rates than those who weren't hugged as often according to University of North Carolina research.
3. Hold Hands
It's a simple pleasure... entwining your fingers with your one-and-only is super calming, as researcher James Coan, Ph.D. assistant professor of psychology at the University of Virginia found when he gave functional MRIs to 16 married women after telling them they might get a mild shock. When the women held hands with one of the experimenters, the stress response seen on the scans calmed, but when they held hands with their husbands, it really eased quite a bit.
What's more, when you're in a happy relationship, holding hands cuts stress related activity in the hypothalamus, and this brings down the levels of cortisol going through your system, as well as in the part of the brain that registers pain.

4. Getting Intimate
No surprise here... but being intimate with your partner... the skin-to-skin
stroking and touching, floods us with oxytocin and feel good endorphins. Regular
sexual activity also does the body good, and might just keep us from getting
sick as often.
Those who had sex once or twice a week had 30% more infection
fighting immunoglobulin A (IgA) in their saliva than those who didn't do it as
often according to a study done at Wilkes University.
5. Cuddle with a pet
If you have a pet as part of your life, you've probably already noticed how scratching
them behind the ears, patting their fur or rubbing their little bellies reduces
your own feelings of tension.
Research shows that a person's blood pressure drops
when they pet dogs; especially if it's a dog they know and love. Your feelings
of pain may also be reduced by spending time with your pet, as you're focusing
on the animal, not your own issues.
To your good health,

P.S: Nike...Ebay...Amazon and Walmart pay for your opinion
Fortune 500 companies make their money by people like you and I buying their products.
But how do they know what we want to buy? Easy they pay to find out the products we like, where we shop and what we buy.
In a nutshell big businesses need people to tell them what products to make.
People like Michelle McAllister - a 34 year old full-time mother of two. Michelle and many others help "big business" make millions, although they haven't got any marketing or sales experience.
In fact Michelle knows absolutely nothing about business, but she does know what she likes...
And that's exactly the information these companies are after and will pay you for.
Click through to discover how Michelle quickly profits by telling big companies her opinion and how you can do it too...
