FAST FOOD, BAD FOR HEALTH!


"Several research studies have found that junk food can affect the brain much the same way as nicotine or heroin.  A few meals high in saturated fats are enough to make the brain stop responding to the leptin system.  The leptin system is the portion of the brain that controls body weight and reproductive function.  When a diet high in fat and junk foods is consumed over time, the body’s hormonal system is reconfigured and wants to store more fat.  Early exposure to junk foods could make the brain in children reconfigure the body chemistry so that bad food choices are made throughout life."

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't

Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. 

Laughter increases levels of a hormone called beta-endorphines (which elevates mood state) by 27% and increases human growth hormone by 87%. Human growth hormone (HGH) is used to treat patients with hormone deficiencies and has been shown to improve the immune system, bone and muscle mass, and reduces body fat. This is the same hormone that athletes use to improve their athletic performance in their sports.

Do you suffer from Alexithymia

 http://static.tumblr.com/wqcj2j1/QYOlqzpbr/alexythmia.png

I initially had no idea that there was a word for this. It effects so many people, some of which are reading this post as of now. It even effects me to a certain extent. Do you have this, do you know anyone who's like this, is there a point in time where you had difficulty describing what you feel to others, for others. When someone ask you are you okay.....do you say " I'm fine..." instead of the truth....Alexithymia
