Laughter is the best medicine’, goes the popular phrase. Doctors, health experts and professionals in high-stress jobs are now realizing the truth behind this old adage. The link that doctors have always suspected has finally been confirmed — the connection between the state of one’s mind and the state of one’s heart. Well-adjusted, optimistic, happy and enthusiastic people are less likely to develop heart disease than those who are glum and gloomy, claims a new medical finding.
Researchers created a ranking on five levels of positive emotions from none to extreme. With each consecutive rank, the chances of heart diseases dropped by 22 per cent. Dr Sarvanan, a cardiologist, agrees 100 per cent with this. He says, “Anxiety, depression and stress can have a deleterious effect on the hormones, heart rate and health. Panic disorders might trigger nervous system changes which could accelerate the clogging of arteries. That’s why we always suggest to our heart patients that they calm down, keep smiling, add a generous dose of laughter to each day — and they’ll find it’s the best medicine.”
Another high-risk condition of late is hypertension. One of the main reasons why high blood pressure is so dangerous is because it’s stealthy and shows no symptoms. Today’s fast-paced lifestyles and the stress of meeting deadlines, have resulted in an alarmingly high incidence of high blood pressure, especially among the young. The doctor explains, “The problem is that you do not feel sick with high blood pressure. There are no symptoms and you think you are fine. But in three to five years you could develop heart disease and have a heart attack.”
Dr RajeshKumar Shah, a cardiologist and the chairman and medical director of Better Health Foundation, which conducts ‘healthy heart’ programs among youngsters, says, “I always advise people not to get too stressed. I have a saying — ‘hurry, worry, matters more than curry!’ It simply means that tension and the grueling grind of the rat-race can affect the health of one’s heart more than bad metabolism or poor eating habits. I feel that one should have practical aspirations in life and avoid negative emotions to stay cheerful.”
Stand-up comedian Kartik Iyer recommends delving inwards to be happy. His mantra for happiness: “Listen to your heart to keep away heart problems”. He explains, “There are no hard and fast rules to be happy. While most people buy happiness, I feel that we should try and do things which give us joy so that we can lead more contented lives.” Deccan Chronicle

Thank You for the greet post. I love reading it!
I’m a youngish and I don’t like housecleaning. I wish my mamma would not make me do it.
There are some good points here. I’d just like to say keep at it to all those who are trying to get a modification approved. It took me a total of 10 – exhuasting – months to complete mine.
I will never understand why the banks won’t just implement a loan mod plan and do it. Many people have just stopped paying and they would atleast be able to turn a profit.

I’ve been trying to get a loan modification for over 12 months. Why don’t the banks just work with me?
I’ve been trying for months. The banks keep losing things, then requesting more docs. It’s so frustrating.
Why don’t the banks just work with me and others like me?
