Scientists Prove You Can Think Your Way to Wellness
Sometimes it really is the thinking that makes it so. Spend your days focusing on your vibrant health and you will be vibrantly healthy. In contrast you could make it known that you lack a healthy lifestyle, and as a result you will continue to live an unhealthy lifestyle. While this belief is held by many, a recent study has come out with even mainstream scientists proclaiming the very real power of thought.
Scientists Find Promoting Own Wellbeing Leads to Longevity
During the 70’s more than 8,000 individuals participated in a study where they self-rated their health and were given a medical checkup. Three decades later the participants were reassessed. While taking in risk factors such as tobacco, chronic diseases, and high blood pressure, the scientists found that the individuals who responded positively were more likely to outlive those who replied in the negative. In other words, positive thinking promotes healing and quality health.
It is important to realize that your mind can sometimes be your own worst enemy, or it could be your savior. Increasingly, it is being recognized that a ‘mind over matter’ approach can actually produce noticeable results in your health.
Past research has found that savoring the moment and positive thinking can help to not only improve your current health, but also prevent future health complications. In particular, the findings found positive thoughts to be especially beneficial to those already suffering from diseases like coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
One very ‘accepted’ example of how thoughts can produce self-healing is when patients demonstrate improved health benefits after being given placebos. It has been found that participants often respond positively to placebos due to the expectation that they are receiving a real medicinal solution. This leads to a mental response that stimulates healing through stress reduction and a number of other factors. This kind of self-treatment can be seen in one case where a woman’s own thoughts made her lose nearly 112 pounds.
Thoughts and thinking are very powerful tools in life. If you believe your illness is becoming worse, it will likely become worse. If you think it is becoming better, it will likely become better. Make every attempt to de-stress the brain, as it will be much easier to come to the realization that your own thoughts and beliefs really can cause self-healing. Search for the gold, and begin promoting your own wellbeing right away.
Teresa, one wonders a) why you read this article in the first place? b) What is your intention in posting this response? Whilst it is patently obvious that a newborn could not do this, a newborn would also be incapable of posting on this site, it is however eminently possible for you to do so. Cheer up.
Teresa:
Your argument is not new, yet nonetheless muddled.
A newborn baby will drown if thrown into a pool. Once old enough to learn how to roll over and float on its back (a few months), it can survive the mishap. Once old enough to learn how to swim (a few more months)it can thrive in water.
By your logic, the act of swimming for adults would be nonsense because it is not an innate skill for newborns. I would argue that using the power of the mind for personal wellness is no different than learning to swim.
Teresa, it is easy to see in your post that you exude anger. Anger will literally eat you alive. Lighten up. Smile. Open your mind. Live happier!
Best wishes,
Rob
Sorry to hear you feel this way Ms. Sturgeon.
Certainty, however, is so uncertain.
What is true for you is not true for me.
By definition, an unborn baby is part of its mother, if Mom is unhealthy…
The way we think has a great deal to do with our health. Maintaining a positive outlook on life really does contribute to a longer, healthier life. Try it. It will work if your body hasn't been too badly damaged for too many years.

Let this mind be in you that is in The Rhema Words of the Living Christ.
I suggest you read the research with an open mind, instead of an open mouth.

It has been proven that negative thoughts generate acidic conditions. Most pathogens thrive in acidic conditions. Positive thoughts promote a harmful environment to some pathogens. Therefore, alkalinity and good health to the human are the result. Why is this so unbelievable?
Here is another one for the nay-sayers: DNA can be altered by light (or photon) frequency. Sound can produce the some frequency as light. Therefore we can actually speak ourselves well.

Mind – Body connection can be proved very simply. If you where to think of something very embarrassing or something that made you real mad. your face would get red.
If you where to think of something that caused fear your face would turn white.
Now what happened was a thought changed the blood flow in your body. If the blood is stopped in a location you body can not function and if you have too much blood in an area the problem is the same
