For some of us Depression is a very serious issue that continually arises. However, for most of us we occasionally just feel sad or angry, or don't really feel anything. Yet, there are some ways to increase our general happiness. The key to this isn't medication, and it doesn't require you to do yoga for 5 hours every day. In fact, it is a rather simple method of obtaining happiness or at least boosting that mood for awhile, watch what you eat.

No, I don't mean you necessarily have to eat healthy, although I'm sure that would also make you a happier person anyway. Watch what you're putting into your body because there are some foods that can actually increase you levels of happiness. So if you're feeling a little down try some of these for a boost.

Sunflower Seeds – The folate and magnesium found in sunflower seeds play an enormous role in regulating your mood.

5 Ways to Deal with Anger

Recently, I've been giving a lot of thought to anger problems and ways to manage anger. I, personally don't have an anger problem (at least I don’t think I do), but one of my friends, who will remain nameless (KJ), might have a tiny anger problem. Let's just say he punched a hole through his door after the Indianapolis Colts lost the Super bowl (that was the second door he broke in the span of two weeks). Needless to say, he may have to find some way to vent this anger.

1. Think Before You Act – As soon as you notice your anger building, try to really think about why you're angry. Sometimes we (yes even me) become angered over simple things. By taking an extra few seconds to assess the situation, you may be able to calm yourself.

2. Recognize Your Anger – Before you can even begin to deal with your anger, you need to be able to realize when you are beginning to become angry.

3. Distract Yourself – By taking your mind off of something, you can find peace. I've seen many people use many different techniques to distract their minds from their anger. This could be simply squeezing a stress ball or putting a rubber band on your wrist, so you can snap the band to focus your mind on the minor and brief pain on your wrist.

4. Vent – For some people, preventing anger just doesn't appear to be possible and they have to release their aggression. If this is you, try to USE your aggression in a beneficial or safe environment. I have a punching bag at home that I beat up every time I'm angry. I get some exercise in, release all the built up rage, and I'm too tired to even think about being angry by the end. Playing a sport is an excellent form of anger management.

5. Don't Sleep On It – I tried to go to bed angry for many years thinking it would be better in the morning, but this just led to me being even angrier. I find that if you're angry, it's better to deal with it quickly instead of sleeping on it. If it's late, try writing down what made you angry and why. You'll probably end up writing more than you first intended and will most likely go completely off topic, but you'll essentially clear your mind or at least forget about your anger.

Good posture is defined as the most effective positioning of our bodies to withstand the force of gravity. Poor posture develops as a result of various factors, some associated with the structure of the body, often generated by a misalignment of the bones in the feet, and additionally factors of our environment. Because poor posture can negatively affect our health, requiring medication or prescription drugs for muscular stress and back pain, taking steps to improve posture will return many health benefits in the long term.

Determining whether your bad posture is caused by environmental factors or structural factors is the first step in correcting bad posture. Speaking to a shoe specialist (at your local running store) or your physician may help to rule out the underlying causes of your posture issues. Many specialists recommend the Alexander Technique, a program where a teacher observes and corrects your posture while you carry out a series of tasks, as the most viable posture correction program, however yoga and other exercise programs have been proven to improve posture as well.

Improving poor posture is extremely important, as it can lead to chronic muscle pain, as well as stress on the nervous, digestive and circulatory systems. Although correcting poor posture habits can be difficult, by becoming aware of our bodies' natural position and taking initiative to improve it, your bad posture can become a thing of the past.

Soft Drinks Significantly Increase Risk of Developing Pancreatic Cancer

Soft drinks are already one of the biggest, or even possibly the biggest, drinks to avoid if you want to be healthy. However, most of the time, we talk about soft drinks as a major factor to weight gain. Recently, a study has discovered a link between soft drinks and pancreatic cancer.

The pancreas creates insulin, while scientists believe that high levels of insulin can increase the growth of cancerous cells. When we take in too much sugar, we drastically increase our insulin levels. Soft drinks are currently one of the main sources of sugar in the diet of most Americans.

The results of the study were astonishing. Those that drank two or more cups of pop every week had an 87 percent increase in the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Many things like smoking, obesity, diabetes, and red meat intake were just a few of the factors taken into consideration.

Soft drinks just keep getting even worse for your body every time we learn something new. Cutting down on your pop consumption definitely couldn't hurt. You'll help lessen your chances of developing pancreatic cancer and you will become healthier in general. You might even be able to lose those few extra pounds.
