Taking Care Of Your Spouse May Lengthen Your Life

A study conducted by the University of Michigan Medical School found that older people who spent at least 14 hours each week taking care of a disabled spouse lived longer than those who did not take care of a disabled spouse.

In the study, the researchers looked at seven years of data on the habits and lifespan of 1,688 couples aged 70 and higher. Over the seven years about 25% of the group passed on. Those who spent the most time caring for their spouse were still alive at the end of the study.

These findings suggest that caregivers my actually benefit from providing care. This research confirms the results from other studies that have shown it is better to give than to receive. Since taking care of a disabled spouse is the ultimate form of giving, it will also benefit the individual doing the care giving.

The Benefits Of Laughing Just Keep Getting Better And Better!

Two new studies have been published further supporting the existing research showing that laughter can lower stress hormone levels, raise immune function, reduce blood pressure and stimulate endorphin release.

In these studies, the researchers looked at the effect of laughter on the cardiovascular system. Each study had volunteers watch a comedy or a serious documentary while the scientists measured the amount of blood flow through the carotid artery and the constriction and dilation of blood vessels.

In both studies the participants watching a funny movie had improvements in cardiovascular function, in that blood moved more freely though the carotid arteries and the arteries were more relaxed. These improvements lasted for at least 24 hours.

For those participants watching the serious documentary, their blood vessels constricted by around 20%. So…ha…ha…ha…ha, ha, ha, ha, etc (You get the point, start laughing!).

The Importance Of Keeping Species Alive

As you may know, we are experiencing a major extinction of plants, animals and other living organisms on our planet. This next piece of research illustrates how important it is to do our best to preserve as many species as we can.

This story involves using tick spit to cure cancer. That’s right, tick spit. Researchers in Brazil were studying the anti-coagulant properties of the saliva of the South American tick. They found it contained an unusual protein and decided to test it on rats with cancer.

The researchers were surprised when the tumors shrank and then disappeared without any damage to healthy cells.

So…this points out that there is no one species that may not turn out someday to be extremely important for the survival of our own species.

  A Special Offer On My Two New Books
 

Last month, I made a special thank you offer to all my readers for helping select the covers and subtitles for my two new books that are coming out in this month.

One is called Managing Your Stress In Difficult Times: Succeeding In Times of Change and it focuses on actual practical steps you can take immediately to handle the stresses you are experiencing from anything that is happening to you, your family and friends.

The second book is called Switched-On Selling: Balancing Your Brain For Sales Success. This book combines the sales wisdom of a good friend of mine, Master Sales Trainer Tony Alessandra, with the brain rewiring approach that I use in my research-validated Switched-On Selling Seminar.

Both Tony and I view this as a revolutionary new way of improving your selling skills. As you read Tony’s material, you will be able immediately to prevent any doubts, worries or concerns about implementing and succeeding with Tony’s strategies. I’ve published several studies validating the amazing impact of these concepts. To read the studies: www.Teplitz.com/BrainGymResearch.htm.
