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
