Use shopping

Shopping - the best cure for the blues, you can always invite friends to go shopping and spend some time in good company. Our mothers and grandmothers make trips to the store when it was necessary to buy a particular item of clothing, and we attend trade halls and shop because we enjoy the process.





"Shopping is much better than psychotherapy. Price is one, but you're left with a dress, "- says one of the characters in the book Sophie Kinsella" The Secret World of a Shopaholic. " That is, in a sense, and even shopping can help save money, well, if you face a choice between a psychologist and a dress. On the other hand, the fact that the acquisition of new things always leaves a pleasant sensation in the human soul.



"If everyone could go every day in new clothes, depression would disappear from the face of the earth" - according to the same character. Of course, we are happy to still further the process of using (wearing, application) of these same purchases. And when a new thing is really to face, and surrounding make us compliments - it acts as a kind of doping for mental health, it is a pledge of confidence.



So we arranged that acquiring goods at a discount or special offers, we get great pleasure that even compares with sexual arousal (remember the same gleam in the eyes of a friend or a strange glow on her face).



Also, psychologists consider extremely useful fact of spontaneity and unpredictability in the process of shopping, strangely enough, we were much more encouraging unplanned purchases than those for which we specifically go to the store. Spontaneous acquisition is a pleasant surprise, that only reinforces the positive perception of what is happening. Also, you can draw an analogy with the production of the trophy during the hunt - if suddenly we were able to "grab" something special - even by the pleasant and family are pleased and grateful to this "getter».



In the process of running around the shops in search of the body of the purchase is subject to moderate physical activity, that is, shopping even replace the gym with an instructor and other expenses. Scientists from Taiwan went even further: according to a study conducted by the National Institute of Public Health of the country, the death rate among elderly people who go shopping once a week or more, 27% lower than among those who do not like shopping. The researchers followed the participants in the survey for 9 years.
"In any case, a shopping trip brings as much benefit as the morning exercises," - experts say.



Shopping longer useful to men than to women!
"Research to break stereotypes about shopping," - the authors note that the study of Taiwanese experts. So, the researchers argue that the positive effects of the process of purchases was awarded to a greater extent in men and not in women. Shopaholics male die 28% "less" than those who go shopping a couple of times a month; Women figure is 23%.
But experts also admit the probability of impact on the life expectancy of human nature and temperament, its active and energetic, which forced him to "go shopping».
