Mindset

I've always believed mindset helps with your health.
Or rather, that if you'r sick but are positive, your chances of recovery are higher/faster. But I've never really thought about it in a general wellbeing sense.

It's how much you think you worked out, not just the vigor of you workouts, that is key, according to the research published in the February issue of the journal Psychological Science.....

....Reaching out to 84 female hotel housekeepers, researchers asked them how much they were working out. The housekeepers reported that they were not getting any exercise despite their strenuous jobs....

....The researchers informed 44 of the subjects that the daily work they do is enough exercise to satisfy the Surgeon General’s recommendation for sustaining a healthy routine....

....The other 40 housekeepers were not told the health benefits of their daily tasks....

....After four weeks, the informed group had lost an average of two pounds, lowered their blood pressure by almost 10 percent, and reduced their body fat percentage. These changes were higher than the uninformed group....

That IS interesting. I wonder if this will work on my walkies? I haven't lost any new weight, my clothes don't feel any looser than before, and yet I do feel healthier.


More importantly.... Must. Not. Lose. Perkiness.
