When was the last time you stood in awe of a breathtaking vista, a staggeringly beautiful work of art, or a historic landmark? At that moment, according to one scientific study, you were directly supporting beauty, healthy aging, and immunity. In this study, positive emotions, especially awe, wonder, and amazement, correlated to lower levels of inflammatory markers in the body, suggesting reduced levels of inflammation and a healthier immune response overall for the participants. The takeaway: make time to seek out beauty that leaves you awe-inspired, both as a moment of self-care in your day and a path to long-term beauty and health benefits.
