Emotions and health.
"All diseases from the nerves" is a fairly widespread and proven truth over the years of mankind's life. Scientists have long noticed that emotions and human health are linked. The emotional sphere of a person has a huge impact on the functioning of all life support systems of the body, and is able to turn their work both in the direction favorable to health and in the direction of the destructive effect on the body. It is all the fault of the nervous system, which is involved in the formation of human emotions and is directly related to the regulation of all (even minor) processes in the body of a living being.
Emotions are essentially nothing more than a reaction of the nervous system to external and internal stimuli. The strength of the emotional outburst (positive or negative) depends on the state of the nervous system, its "stability" or "looseness". The stronger the emotional experience, the more the work of the nervous system is involved. Many somatic diseases and autonomic disorders stem from this. Headaches, increased fatigue, insomnia, impaired intellectual abilities, depression, pressure drops, disturbances in the motility of the digestive tract, heart failure, breathing disorders, muscle spasms - this is an incomplete list of health disorders that accompany emotional outbursts. Anger, hatred, resentment, anger, irritation, indignation, anxiety, fear keep the nervous system in constant tension, while joy, enthusiasm, interest, a sense of satisfaction, serenity, love, tenderness relax the nervous system, and after it relax the skeletal and smooth muscles, reduce vascular tone, relieve tension in the myocardium,
Chronic emotional experiences, stress, negative emotions can gradually deplete the nervous system and provoke the development of chronic disease processes in the body. And any chronic painful process in the body fixes the disease for many years, interferes with the cure of many health disorders and shortens the life span.
For this reason, it is worth thinking about maintaining your nervous system in a position of relaxation, and the body, if not in a constantly joyful mood, then at least in a state that would make it possible to achieve a neutral attitude to chronic emotional stimuli. To do this, you need to learn how to manage your emotions, sometimes keep them "in check", sometimes let them out, but try not to cross the emotional line beyond which the disease begins.
