Temperatures risin'! The new line on fevers in that they can be (and are) good for your health

Article Abstract:

Fevers are good for some people under certain conditions because antibody production is faster at higher temperatures. However the body has to work very hard to raise its temperature, so fevers are not always good for people with impaired immune systems, such as the elderly or people with AIDS.

Go ahead, cry yourself a river. It's good for you

Article Abstract:

Crying is healthy because it removes stress hormones, salts, oils and enzymes from the system. White trails on red cheeks or a burning feeling on them can mean the individual is allergic to the chemicals within their tears.
