Blogging for Your Health

Forget the advice about eating an apple a day. All you need is a blog a day. According to an article in Self magazine, blogging may help you reap the following benefits.

• Sounder slumber. Blogging about your feelings can bring on relaxation, which helps usher in sleep, says Michael Breus, PH.D., author of Beauty Sleep.
• Improved Immunity. Expressive writing may encourage growth of white blood cells, which fight off infection, research shows.
• A hardy heart. Writing about emotional topics may lower blood pressure and heart rate, keeping your ticker in better shape, so write from the heart!

There’s no need to go public–a private Web diary can offer the same benefits. So, if you aren’t feeling well, simply post a couple of blog entrees and call me in the morning.
