Get it down in writing

Blogging, journaling - call it what you want, writing or typing out of your thoughts and feelings helps your body more than you know!

1. SLEEP MORE SOUNDLY

Penning your feelings down before bedtime brings about relaxation that help promote sleep.

2. HEALTHY HEART.

Writing about emotional topics such as missing your boyfriend helps to lower blood pressure and heart rate, keeping your ticker in better shape.

3. SHOO STRESS AWAY!

A month of expressive writing can help reduce hypertension. You may feel worse at first when writing about your worries, so keep at it for at least three days till you pass that phase.

4. IMPROVE YOUR IMMUNITY

Expressive writing may encourage production of white blood cells, which fight infection, suggest researchers from the University of Texas at Austin. That translates to fewer flu-inflicted days!
