Happiness Secrets From The World's Happiest Places!

                                           Boost Your Happiness Secrets!

If you're like most people-you want good health, a few dollars in the 

bank, strong ties to families and friends and happiness.
If being happy is a goal you hope to achieve in your old age,
you're in luck.
According to some surveys, there are 2 spots in the World that'll
boost your happiness levels. The 2 spots... one is in the U.S. and the other
is nestled high atop the Himalayan mountains.

Where are these 2 hot spots?
One is in Napa Valley California (aka Wine country)
and the other is Bhutan!
So, look below and find out their secrets for unending bliss.
Napa Valley California-
a) Stay After The Meal-
Simply stated-Linger after the meal. It's called the "slow food
movement" and sitting down enjoying the meal and the conversation 

can boost happiness. Eat fast and avoid conversation and you miss out 
on really tasting the food and building relationships.
b) Hanging With Happy People-

Avoid people who gossip endlessly and keep you mired in negativity.
Being around people who are upbeat and positive can be contagious
and they help you feel better, become more productive and less stressed.
c) Avoid These Words-
Swear words to be exact. You may feel good as you're saying them, 

but they can bring down your moods and the moods of those you're
using the words against. And using profanity frequently makes those
close to you feel less connected and may even cause depression levels
to increase. So, choose your words wisely.
d) Enjoy The Outdoors-
People in Napa Cal. spend more time outside than people anywhere
else in the U.S. and there's a reason for it: Being outdoors in the
sunlight raises your levels of dopamine and serotonin. (both are
nuerotransmitters) that boosts moods and reduce stress levels. 

And don't believe the hype about the diabolical effects of the Sun,
the more vitamin D (you get from the Sun) the better your health.
It (the Sun) helps lower your risks of everything from Cancer to
depression to sexual problems.
e) Drink Up-
It's not called "Wine Country" for nothing. 

Napa valley is home to over 300 wineries and a glass a day can
lower blue moods, keep weight down, lower risks of Alzheimer's
and heart disease and keep you looking a few yrs. younger than
your actual age.

That's it- 5 reasons the people of Napa Valley California
may the happiest people in the U.S.
Tomorrow- find out why the people of Bhutan have been named
the happiest people outside of the U.S.

And for those who are concerned about skin, lung, cervical,
colon, thyroid, throat, breast and stomach cancer...look

and other Cancers. Learn the foods that'll make your body a fortress
against harmful cancer cells. Available at Amazon.com/in the Kindle store.

California's Wine Rx To Prevent Headaches!

                      Drink Wine To Improve Health!

You probably know about the benefits of a daily glass of wine...
Slimmer waistline
better sleep
more youthful arteries
decreased appetite
stronger heart
decreased chance of getting Alzheiemer's 


But, not everyone is on board and the cause may be
headaches. 

That's right- A number of people have discontinued their glass of wine
 a day, because they don't want the pain (head pain) that comes with it.

Well, if you recognize yourself and you want to go back to that daily glass,
there's some good news: Drink California wines.

California whites to be exact. Wine contains 3 natural compounds that can trigger
head pain: histamines, tyramines and tannins. Histamines dilate blood vessels, 

while tyramines dilate and then constrict blood vessels-this combo can be torturous
on one's head. And lastly, the tannins increase serotonin and sudden changes in the
"feel good" brain chemicals can also cause head pain. Red wine contains more of these
compounds than white- and Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are usually the lowest. 

And for those of you out there asking-what about sulfites? They can trigger your
allergies to act up, but they don't cause headache pain. If you find yourself
with a stuffy nose, watering eyes constant sneezing-then yes, it's most likely an
allergy. 
                   

That's it- your guide to enjoying wine without the headaches.
To find wines that don't cause headaches, go to Google.com
and type wines that don't cause headaches in the subject line.

Good Luck!
