Blogging is good for you, or so says a study from the Oncologist as described in Scientific American.

Expressive writing promotes biochemical processes:

besides serving as a stress-coping mechanism, expressive writing produces many physiological benefits. Research shows that it improves memory and sleep, boosts immune cell activity and reduces viral load in AIDS patients, and even speeds healing after surgery.

The study in the February issue of the Oncologist reports that cancer patients who engaged in expressive writing just before treatment felt markedly better, mentally and physically, as compared with patients who did not.

So on this hot June afternoon, I’ll sip my cool drink and enjoy the benefits of blogging.

Cheers!
