LSD, chocolate, maggots and beer may be bad things, but recent studies indicate that these and several other things are good for you and can help you attain better health and well being. We have collected the top then bad things that are good for you.

10. Beer

Beer has long been in the background of other healthier alcoholic options. Beer is certainly not healthier than a good glass of antioxidant rich red wine, however new research has indicated that moderate beer consumption can improve cardiovascular function.

9. Anger

Don't hold your anger in so long. Studies have found that bursts of anger periodically are good for their health and these bursts of anger are even more effective as a coping mechanism than become irritated, afraid or disgusted. Anger, like everything else is best in moderation. If you remain angry for too long you will develop a host of problems including sleep disorders, high blood pressure and lung damage.

8. Coffee

Coffee and Java are two of the most debated substances internationally. The consensus, at the present time favors those who enjoy their morning cup of coffee. Several studies find that coffee is a major source of antioxidants in your diet and can assist in lowering your risk of diabetes. Also, the contents of coffee is thought to ease the onset of cirrhosis of the liver and pancreatitis. Therefore, party all night and hit your coffee in morning.

7. LSD

Studies do not advocate drug use and WE certainly don't either, but there are some interesting studies on LSD. In heavy and residual drinkers, small consumption of LSD have been shown to bypass the rock bottom stage of alcoholism and prevent relapses. These studies were performed in closely monitored, clinical studies and many patients have not drank for many years since. It certainly is an interesting finding that will undergo a lot more investigation, and not a fix or remedy that should be tried at home. We should also reprot that a recent study of volunteers who took an LSD like drug in an experiment setting reported behavior changes and mystical experiences that lasted for weeks.

6. Sunlight

In order to survive, exposure to the sun's rays is necessary but over-exposure can kill you. Studies show asthmatics, at least could benefit from measured doses of ultraviolet rays. Sunlight was found to suppress the immune reactions that lead to asthma in mice and could do the same with humans in the future. Sunlight is also known to boost mood. Additionally extra sunlight can help office workers eradicate afternoon drowsiness. AVOID OVEREXPOSURE!

5. Maggots

Maggots are disgusting, but maggots can save your life. hese larvae are one of science's wonder cure and were formally approved in 2003 as the FDA's only live medical device. Placed in serious wounds, maggots eat the bacteria and dead tissue, effectively stimulating healing and preventing infection.

4. Marijuana

Marijuana has proven to be medicinal. Marijuana once thought to be a cause of memory loss, is now found to stave off Alzheimer's disease which is the most extreme form of memory loss. Recent studies on mice show that the anti inflammatories found in Marijuana prvent the clumping of brain proteins, which is a major cause of the disease. We recommend waiting for the finality of the studies before starting your preventative therapy.

3. Red Wine

A common inclusion in the diets of the world's heart healthiest populations, red wine has long been proven to have potent anti cancer and artery protecting benefits. The primary key, some studies indicate, is an antioxidant found in the skin of red wine grapes, named resveratrol. Some of the latest studies link resveratrol to greater endurance, a reduction in gum disease and Alzheimer's. White wine is less beneficial because it is fermented after the skins are removed.

2. Chocolate

Studies continually show the benefits of chocolate. Chocolate is teeming with the antioxidant flavonols that help prevent certain cancers and keep our arteries from clogging. Most recently, these powerful chemicals may increase blood flow to the brain and assist in warding off dementia. The key is to stick with the bars with the highest amount of cocoa and lowest amount of sugar!

1. Sex

Scientists continually find that the benefits of sex are short and long term. Besides the obvious procreation purposes, having sex lowers cholesterol, reduces stress and improves circulation throughout the body. Therefore another excuse to go have sex now!
