Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

We’ve know for a long time (and honestly common sense and personal experience tells you this as well) that time spent outside lifts your spirits.

Higher Morale, Longer Life Span

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle, Positive Parenting, Soul Healing / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study shows that having a sense of optimism about your future actually helps you live longer… much longer! Published March 15, 2015 in Age and Aging, the results are clear: a higher morale leads to a longer life.

Folks who consume chocolate often… we are talking every single day or even multiple times a day… have about a 40% reduced risk of heart attack and a 30% reduced risk of stroke. In fact, the patients who consumed the most chocolate had the most cardio and neurologic protection.
