A
this
that
Select
an
the
a
A
this
that
way we respond to problems and troubles can produce many symptoms of ill health. But although our minds can make us ill, they can also make us better and help us to stay healthy.
There are
Select
an
the
a
A
this
that
number of ways in which you can use your mind to improve your health:
1. Laugh as much as you can. Laughter is

that
positive, natural phenomenon which helps by improving respiration, lowering blood pressure and 'toning up'
Select

A

heart.
2. Don't be cool or unemotional. Insurance companies in
Select
an

USA have shown
Select
an
the

A
this
that
if
Select
an

A
this
that
accident on

Select
an
the

morning kiss.
3. If you feel sad, then cry. Research has shown

A
this
that
stress-related disorder.
4. Anger is
Select
an
the
a
A
this

killer. Diseases such as high blood pressure, strokes and heart disease are all common consequences of uncontrolled anger. Find

5.
Select
an

this
that
lack of confidence can be very destructive, so build it up. You can do

by imagining
