Laughter Really Is The Best Medicine

There are some wonderful benefits in laughter.  In many years spent  observing and sharing experiences with people with breathing difficulties, I have seen many.  For those who have retained  secretions and trouble coughing, it can provide great airway  clearance!  It is good breathing exercise.  Best of all, from kids  to adults, it always brings good times together! Laughter Relaxes tension Boosts your immune system Reduces heart rate and blood pressure Exercises breathing muscles Releases endorphins

Green Tea Benefits

 

Green tea is made from the Chinese camellia plant leaves.  You can buy it as traditional tea bags, bottled, or as a supplement.  The way it is processed minimizes oxidation, which may be why is has so many benefits.   Of course always ask your doctor’s opinion.
