RealAge Tip of the DAY for December 19, 2003
•Helps Heal All Wounds
Are you feeling stressed? Finding your inner calm may help your body's healing process.

In a study of patients undergoing surgery, those who were the most stressed during the weeks before surgery tended to have the slowest recovery from the procedure. Help your wounds heal faster by making an effort to keep daily stress levels under control with deep breathing, meditation, or other calming activities.

More and more research is revealing that there is a strong connection between the mind and the body when it comes to health and healing. Stress appears to affect the immune system, which can hinder healing or open the door to infection and disease. Be good to your spirit each day with stress-reducing pastimes that nurture feelings of calm and improve your mood.
RealAge Benefit: Taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make your RealAge up to 16 years younger.
