In our never ending effort to bring you the latest and best in ways to relax. Here is one that you may find hard to believe.  But it sounds delightful in a perverse sort of way.

 A newly emerged "fish spa" is becoming fashionable in many hot spring resorts, and has attracted even more customers, all curious about this peculiar treatment. Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed nibble fish or doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are used for a natural treatment of skin diseases without pain.

Stress and Memory Loss

Don’t worry, be Happy

 A recent study, backed up 20 years of general knowledge, showed a link between stress and memory loss as we age. It got quite a bit of coverage online, but it was not as definitive as it seemed.

Those who most often experienced negative emotions were more than 40 percent more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (mild memory loss associated with the development of Alzheimers Disease) than those who were least prone to these emotions.

This conclusion was based on a study of 1,256 people followed over a 12 year period.

If you are a worrier, don’t start worrying yet.

Important Relationships and Happiness

I run into a lot of people that are worried about the impact of technology on our kids. It’s nice to see that most still find more enjoyment and support from their relationships to other people than from their xbox and ipod.  But there is a cloud on the horizon.

Percent of those who say relationships make them happy:

  • Relationships with Friends—85%
