Give Thanks & Get Health Benefits
Thanksgiving is right around around the corner and it's important to give thanks for what we have. There are many reasons to teach gratitude to your child daily. Research has shown that being thankful has many health benefits, from improved immune systems, to feelings of connectedness, and even higher morale.
1. Good for the heart. A 1995 study in the American Journal of Cardiology showed that appreciation and positive emotions are linked with changes in heart rate variability.
2. Good for the immune system. Gratefulness is linked with optimism, which in turn is linked with better immune health WebMD reported.
3. Reduces stress. WebMD reported that negative events can boost gratitude, and that gratitude can help to boost feelings of belonging and decrease feelings of stress. For example, a survey showed that feelings of gratitude were at high levels after 9/11, according to WebMD.
4. Improves sleep. Who doesn't need to sleep better? Writing down what you’re thankful for as you drift off to sleep can help you get better ZZs, according to a study in the Journal of Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being.
5. Higher Grades. Grateful students have higher GPA's— as well as better social integration and satisfaction with life — than their not-grateful counterparts, according to a 2010 study in the Journal of Happiness Studies.
