Which emotions are associated with illness?

Psychology believes that unpleasant emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, anger, frustration, sadness, and pain are a type of negative emotion. Negative emotions affect our overall health by affecting various bodily systems such as breathing and blood circulation and neuromuscularity.

People have a certain ability to react to emotions, within the ability to react, the body can be adjusted, generally there will be no lesions, but the duration is too long, beyond the scope of the body's response, then the situation is different. For example, the damage of emotions such as nervousness and anxiety to the body generally does not depend on the degree of tension and anxiety, but on the duration of tension and anxiety.

In general, the digestive system is considered the organ most affected by emotions. Many people have similar experiences: under strong emotional stimulation, the body may have symptoms such as vomiting, stomach bloating, stomach pain and diarrhea, or a decrease in appetite and feeling that they cannot eat, and some people will overeat, directly harming the digestive organs. Since there is no organic lesion, even if you do a gastroscopy, you can't find the problem, which is a typical psychosomatic disease.

Low immunity is manifested as easy to catch colds, fevers, infections, low resistance, etc., and abnormal immunity is manifested as easy allergies, rashes, asthma, autoimmune attacks, etc. Studies have shown that people who often swallow their breath (C-type personality) are 3 times more likely to get cancer than the average person.

Chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system are mostly related to the intravascular self-attack caused by the body's long-term microinflammative environment. Long-term anxiety and tension will damage cardiovascular function, causing hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmias and other cardiovascular system diseases, and appear dizziness, headache, chest tightness, palpitations and other symptoms. Especially for hypertension, studies have shown that the proportion of hypertensive patients with bad personality emotions before the onset of the disease is as high as 74.5%.

As the saying goes: how bad the emotions are, how bad the body is. In fact, no matter how to maintain health, it is not as good as a good attitude. A good mental state has a direct impact on human health.

People's life can not be completely smooth, when you encounter difficulties, setbacks, pay attention to control your emotions, and strive to face with optimistic emotions.

Since ancient times, we have found that the long-lived elderly around us are all in a good state of mind and often smile, but it is rare to see anyone who mourns and worries all day long and can expire the year. Realistic studies have confirmed that this is indeed the case. A 30-year follow-up of more than 70,000 volunteers published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that optimistic people were more likely to live to be 85 years and older.

When you are in a bad mood

No amount of health is in vain

It's more important than eating anything!
