Laugh Yourself To Good Health
How would you like a laugh-fest each morning? A hearty laugh really gets the day going! Laughing clubs are a place where individuals can practice Laughter Yoga. Also known as Hasyayoga is packed with psychological and physical benefit. Developed by the Indian physician Madan Kataria, these clubs encourage members to participate in prolonged periods of voluntary laughter.
It is believed that this activity, initiated via creativity and social interaction rather than through comedy and humor, produces an array of positive psychological and physiological benefits ranging from simple mood elevators, to stress reduction and pain relief. These clubs are often run in groups, where eye contact and playfulness is encouraged, and where forced laughter is ideally turned into genuine, contagious laughter. Only a handful of studies have looked into the science of Laughter Yoga, but they have found that there may be a number of medical benefits associated with the activity.
These include improved cardiovascular health, more positive mood, and more uplifting social associations. It is suggested that laughter clubs may be as beneficial as exercise therapy for patients suffering from depression, and Oxford University discovered that the human pain threshold is significantly higher for those in laughter groups than those participating in a control group. It is also suggested that Laughter Yoga encourages the production of endorphins, leading to an opiate effect, which assists in social bonding and mood enhancement, as well as with reduced pain and lower stress levels.
Laughing with friends seems like a pretty great way to help with anxiety, pain, and stress! Laughing Clubs became popular in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, with the practice being performed in open parks in the early morning. Individuals who take part in these clubs believe in, or wish to try the powerful healing effect associated with laughter. They’re also impossible to miss (or not to hear!). Just look for the beaming faces and consistent sound of laughter.

Vertical Living Luxury Retirement For You .
There has been a recent growth in ‘’vertical” retirement accommodation. That is to say, apartment style retirement facilities rather than the more prevalent, villa style villages.
There are advantages in the new concept both from the point of view of retirement village operators and of residents. We talked to Loraine Martin who is the sales manager for Serene Living to understand some of the benefits. Serene Living operates a village in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads. “One of the main benefits of vertical villages is that they have a smaller footprint. The space needed is far less than landed property, and so we can afford to be in excellent locations with facilities easily at hand.” This certainly is true of Serene Living’s site, situated just opposite the Tweed Heads Bowls Club greens

How to Put People First in Aged Care?
When you are planning out your aged care options for the future or looking for aged care for a parent or your loved one, there are many aspects to consider. Value for money, the quality of staff, the physical facilities and proximity to family are usually high on the list of criteria in making a choice. However, it is equally important that the aged care facility looks after the emotional well being of residents and ensures that they are fully engaged and continue to have a meaningful life.
