How Different Emotions Affect Your Health

How Different Emotions Affect Your Health ??

 It's a well-known fact that your distress can negatively influence your physical condition
but far fewer people know that every single emotion be it happy or not has an impact on your body in short all your feelings have physical consequences......

 Love makes everything sweet :

A study published in the journal emotion in 2013 proved that when you're in love both food and drinks including distilled water taste sweeter according to the researchers this may be connected with the babyhood association between a mother's love and sweet breast milk in addition love is a potent painkiller according to dr. sean mccabe Stanford University Medical Center when you're in the first passionate stage of love it's
often enough to look at a photo of your
beloved to alleviate the pain you're suffering from as for lust and infatuation these emotions can make you slim down at least that's what a study conducted by the dating website EE harmony discovered dr. Linden Papadopoulos a psychologist who assisted with a research states that 30% of participants in the butterfly stage of love experienced significant weight loss anger leads to insomnia well anger is an
absolutely healthy and normal emotion it can lead to insomnia we're referring here to chronic anger that often spirals out of control anger increases the blood circulation to your limbs and your heart which in turn doesn't let you fall asleep , not only does anger rid you of rest but it also results in diabetes ,heart disease, high blood pressure ,and a weak immune system . 

Powerlessness makes everything feel heavy 

A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in February 2014 reported that when you feel powerless the object you hold seem heavier than they really
are it's probably a self defense mechanism
to protect people who feel powerless from overextending themselves loneliness and sadness make people feel cold people who feel lonely sad or excluded tend to estimate the temperature around them as a few degrees colder than it really is this makes them long for hot food and beverages to compensate for the unwanted emotion moreover sadness and depression have the ability to influence your
appetite this may lead to weight gain and consequently increased arterial pressure feeling offended and being unable to express this can cause acne your mind is closely connected to your skin that's why most of those negative
emotions you feel are reflected on your
face for example if somebody keeps insulting you and you lock the hurt inside instead of reacting to the offense chances are high that you'll have acne so to avoid the zits just let
it all out feel better ooh what a lovely complexion .

Being in love improves your memory 

Researchers from the University of Pavia in Italy declare that when you fall in love your body has an increased level of nerve growth factor for the whole following year nerve growth factor is a hormone like substance that helps rehabilitate your nervous system on top
of that your memory improves because nerve growth factor triggers the development of new brain cells disgust upset your stomach if you're
unable to suppress your disgust don't feel bad about it this feeling is one of the most difficult to overcome when you're disgusted your heart rate slows down and you experience nausea there you may also feel like there's something wrong with your stomach .

This happens because revulsion born from disgust is based on the same

physiological elements that make up the

digestive system a fit of giggles can

reduce stress hormone levels dr. Lee

Burke from Loma Linda University in

California found out that a fit of

laughter can boost betta endorphins

which improve your mood by 27% and the

levels of human growth hormone which

assists in cellular repair increased by


Maryland Medical Center have figured out

that laughter decreases the risk of

heart attacks

this happens because you lower the

levels of stress hormones in your body

when you laugh oh that feels good

jealousy weakens your immune system

jealousy is one of the most unwanted but

extremely strong human emotions since

it's a mix of anger stress and fear

jealousy can lead to elevated adrenaline

levels and increased heart rate and

blood pressure what's more every time

you feel jealous it weakens your immune

system feeling grateful lowers your

blood pressure the emotions you feel

when you are grateful trigger oxytocin

as a result your immune system becomes

stronger and your blood pressure

decreases plus the healing processes in

your body speed up so I guess we should

all replace that jealousy with thoughts

of real gratitude hey works for me by

crying you get rid of stress chemicals

surprisingly not all tears are the same

when dr. William Frey an American

biochemist compared the chemical

composition of Tears

by emotional reasons and those produced

when a person was cutting onions he was

amazed emotional tears had significantly

higher levels of stress hormones and

neurotransmitters dr. fry drew the

conclusion that the main aim of

emotional crying is to get rid of stress

chemicals if you hold back tears you

might weaken your immune system ruin

your digestion and even impair your

memory fear makes you pale when you're

afraid you become pale because the blood

drains from your face the main reason is

the activity of your autonomic nervous

system which controls your

fight-or-flight response this system

makes the blood vessels decrease the

blood flow to your extremities and your

face instead more blood is sent to your

muscles to allow you to fight or escape

if needed

freezing your partner benefits your

cholesterol levels every time you

express your feelings of love and

affection to your partner your

cholesterol levels go down this

conclusion was drawn in a study

published in the journal human

communication research according to the

study if you spend 20 minutes three

times a week writing about your beloved

your cholesterol levels will drop within

five weeks shame can increase your heart

rate toxic shame which typically comes

from the past causes overproduction of

the primary stress hormone cortisol as a

result you may suffer from constricted

arteries and consequently an elevated

heart rate arguing slows down healing

processes scientists from Ohio State

University are sure that if you have a


body's ability to heal will slow down

dramatically

thus you can imagine how harmful arguing

is in the long term when you argue your

body produces more cytokines immune

molecules that can trigger inflammation

if there are high levels of cytokines in

your body

it can lead to cancer heart disease and

arthritis stress can be advantageous

scientists from Stanford University

School of Medicine discover that

short-term stress can strengthen your

immune system and increase the levels of

molecules that can fight cancer such a

positive effect lasts for several weeks

after a stressful event at the same time

chronic or long-term stress impairs your

memory and makes you easily exhausted

chronic stress can even lead to diabetes

and heart diseases and here's a bonus

this all works the other way around as

well as external factors can influence

your emotions dr. Lawrence Williams from

the University of Colorado Boulder

states that people draw a connection

between physical and psychological

warmth as a result you're bound to

perceive a warm person or a person with

warm hands as trustworthy and helpful

also if you're holding a warm drink in

your hands you perceive strangers as

more friendly than at times when you

were enjoying an iced latte hmm

psychologists from the University of

Cambridge conducted another astonishing

experiment participants received

handouts with moral dilemmas some of

them were printed on sheets of paper

with a black and white border others

were on paper with a colorful or gray

border surprisingly people with black

and white dilemmas turned out to be more

judgmental about morality or immorality

and those who had the paper with grey or

colorful frames tended to consider both

sides of the dilemma Wow have you ever

noticed that your emotions influence

your physical condition say write about
