Have a Laugh

Do your heart a favour and get on the happy track this summer. A recent US study on 1,700 people over 10 years shows that those who were anxious or depressed had a higher risk of heart disease than those who were more optimistic. So what can you do to keep happy?

According to happiness guru Francois Lelord it’s down to three things:’ You need to feel useful and recognised, you need friends and you need to keep a feeling of excitement about life’. But this is not always as easy as it sounds so if your spirits need some boosting why not try the herbal remedy St John’s wort? Otherwise known as the sunshine herb, it could be just what you need to bring a smile to your face.

St John’s wort is found in Karma
