Traditional exercise has a number of wicked benefits -- not only for your body but for your mind too. But there's one exercise in particular that can have a positive impact on your marriage, relationships ... and driving record. Give up? It's yoga.

According to our friends over at Lemondrop, practicing yoga can:

• Increase your flexibility and body awareness, making you better at sex ... and more confident about your body
  
• Improve your reaction times by helping you build concentration skills
  
• Reduce rage by increasing your tolerance for difficult situations

A yogi for a few years now, I can attest to all of these. What about you?

Do you ever feel like you're going to just lose it? Someone cuts you off in traffic and you feel like you're literally seeing red or you find out that a "friend' has been gossiping about you behind your back? Getting angry is totally natural and there are probably a million and one things that can set a person off but the important thing is how you deal with your anger.

I admit that the one thing that always gets me is rude drivers. Someone who speeds up when you put your signal light on to change into their lane so that you can't get in, someone who doesn't bother to use their own signals (they're there for a reason people!), any driver who doesn't offer a thank-you wave after being let in -- the list goes on and on. On more than one occasion, and I'm not proud to admit it, I've lost it and cursed and given nasty gestures. But it's never gotten me anywhere.

If you find yourself having a similar negative reaction to a situation that angers you, it might be a good idea to take a look at some of these tips on anger management. Some may seem a bit silly at first, especially if you're in a rage. But you'd be surprised at how calming deep breathing is and how satisfying it is to go for a run instead of engaging in a yelling match. In the end, you'll come out the biggest winner.

Well, not really, but a new finding reveals that it can kill brain cells. This helps identify why some athletes are prone to "roid rage" when the substance is abused. What is really interesting is that when the body has too much testosterone, cells tend to "self-destruct" much in the same way that Alzheimer's patient cell's do.

The researchers explain that this may be the reason why so many gym aficionados on steroids tend to have wide mood swings and anger bouts. Long-term damage is being done to the brain cells due to excess in testosterone. They also tried the same thing with estrogen, but the results were quite different. Apparently estrogen is almost protective and there was less cell death.
