Nostalgia Instills Hope for The Future

Sharing photos of the past is good for the heart.

Know someone that could use a boost of joy today? Here’s an idea on how to spark it.  With a photo album.  Studies show that flipping through photos does the heart good.  Nostalgia decreases the stress hormone cortisol, and has a calming effect.  And reminiscing about good times in the past instills hope for the future.  Looking at photos on your phone and computer have the same effect.   So maybe take the time today and share a few photos of the past with a friend or family member.
