Profanity, Yoga, and Robots: Fighting Pain

3 Surprising Pain Remedies:
“Profanity, Yoga, and Robots”

That felt better.  No, I’m not kidding.

#3 Profanity:
“Scientists from Keele University found that letting . . . foul language can have a powerful painkilling effect, especially for people who do not normally use expletive[s],” reported the Telegraph.    


Researchers then proceeded to explain the science behind this strange finding.  “The research proves that swearing triggers an emotional response [and] physical one too, which may explain why the centuries-old practice of cursing developed and why it still persists today.”

#2 Yoga (Don’t Forget Pregnancy-Yoga):
Researchers have found that yoga can have a positive effect on a stress-related hormone.  In sum, more yoga =  less stress. The condition, which predominantly affects women, is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue; common symptoms include muscle stiffness, sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal discomfort, anxiety and depression.

Previous research has found that women with fibromyalgia have lower-than-average cortisol levels, which contribute to pain, fatigue and stress sensitivity.  Read the Science Daily Article here.  The authors noted [about the participants], “[T[hey felt less helpless, were more accepting of their condition, and were less likely to “catastrophize” over current or future symptoms.”

7 Second Pain Relief – “Mornings are hardly bearable and you barely manage waking up just because you’re still feeling exhausted from a lack of sleep caused debilitating pain. Physically getting out of bed and starting to move is a whole other chore because of the pain and stiffness. If you’re heading off to work, then you’re faced with a very uncomfortable drive.
