Imagine a simple method that’s both fun and easy, which boosts your immune system, helps fight off all disease, and promotes longevity.
How about if this method was free, took no effort, and involved neither diet nor exercise? You’re probably doing this yourself some of the time. Now that’s just too good to be true, right?
Nope; this exactly is what the researchers at the University of Queensland discovered in a two-year study, following 50 people over the age of 65.
In this study, published in the journal Psychology and Aging, the researchers showed the 50 individuals a series of pictures. Some were positive, others negative.
Later, the people were asked to recall the images. And the researchers recorded how many positive and negative pictures each person remembered.
For two years, blood samples were regularly taken, and the number of antibodies counted. Lots of antibodies is a great indicator of a strong immune system.
Long story short, the more positive pictures individuals remembered, the stronger was their immune system, which translates into a better ability to fight off disease and longer life expectancy.
The study shows that a happy, positive attitude doesn’t just make you feel better, it’s also essential for your health.
Many drugs (high blood pressure drugs, for example) cause stress and anxiety, and may promote negative thinking. They therefore destroy your health instead of boosting it.
High blood pressure is the #1 cause of death in the world (according to the World Health Organization). Throughout the years, I’ve helped thousands of people lowering their blood pressure without medications.
Many people balk when I claim that stress is the single cause of high blood pressure. But often it’s because people mistake the stress as having to be “emotional stress.” That’s not true.
Negative thinking and worrying are other forms of stress; I call “Mental Stress.” We also have physical stress (diseases), sensory stress (traffic noise) and of course emotional stress (divorce).
Different types of stress both accumulate and transfer between groups. Mental stress, for example, can easily cause emotional stress, as well as physical stress. As the study shows, negative thinking (mental stress) leads to physical stress (weaker immune system, which leads to disease).
The method I use to lower blood pressure, is this program of three easy exercises that reboot your system to lower your overall stress level. They work for all types of stress leading to high blood pressure; therefore, they help almost everyone. Often the very first day.

thanks so much for the info ,ill try it
Another good idea but it’s hard to stay positive all the time – ultimately one runs out of nice things to look forward to & has “to face the music”
Can you make something short any longer. Be concise.
