Can writing really reduce stress? A nursing researcher from the University of Iowa is hoping to find out.
Howard Butcher, an associate professor of nursing at the school, is conducting a study to see if adults over the age of 55 can use writing to manage stress. The study, which will take a close look at the effect of writing, will focus on individuals who care for cancer patients in their own families. Participants will be asked to write about their thoughts and feelings related to care-giving for 20 minutes every other day on six different occasions.
The University of Iowa Cancer and Aging Program will fund the study.

I am impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I see a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the matter is something that not many people are speaking intelligently about. I’m really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

GameFly has thousands of other video games, and they even carry titles for older platforms like the Xbox and GameCube. If you enjoy nothing more than first-person shooters, RPGs, and musical games like Guitar Hero, be sure to check out their site and give them a try.

The electronic cigarette is the only thing that’s given me hope that I can stay off tobacco cigarettes forever. I prefer electronic cigarettes now, by far, and to take them away from me and the thousands like me who have experienced this marvel of technology is, I think, a travesty.
