When you see the words, best anti aging products, do you think about our thoughts and emotions? Positive thinking is positive healthy living and aging well, anti aging if you prefer. Me I am quite comfortable to age, in fact I am positively enjoying the experience and do not see it as something to prevent, just something to strive to do well.  Positive thinking can bring, good health. 

No matter what our belief structure, or chosen interpretation, or the name we choose to use to describe when we seek to think in positive ways,  we are generating healthy new cell growth within our body, destroying diseased cells, by strengthening our autoimmune system, when we think positively.

The Law of Attraction, Positive Mental Attitude or PMA for short, cockeyed optimism or Pollyanna behavior, is all about dwelling on what is beautiful. This positive attitude has been the corner stone of most major belief systems, throughout time. Why?  Because it is a formula for a healthy happy life.

You do not often catch me quoting the Bible, but these works from Paul in his letter to the Philippians known as Philippians, Chapter 4 Verse 8, epitomize the best of positive mental attitude/law of attraction/ thinking and has given me strength through my adult life. Whatever your belief, these are great words of wisdom to live by and attract wellness into your life.

“Finally, brothers and sisters,  whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.”

 

The health benefits of positive thinking

Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:

§  Increased life span

§  Lower rates of depression

§  Lower levels of distress

§  Greater resistance to the common cold

§  Better psychological and physical well-being

§  Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease

§  Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress

It's unclear why people who engage in positive thinking experience these health benefits. One theory is that having a positive outlook enables you to cope better with stressful situations, which reduces the harmful health effects of stress on your body. It's also thought that positive and optimistic people live healthier lifestyles — they get more physical activity, follow a healthier diet, and have reduced rates of smoking and alcohol consumption.

Our thinking and emotions are only one part of the holistic approach to healthy aging which is a term I personally prefer to the words, ‘anti aging’.

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
