A very new way of health preservation is currently popular: emotional health preservation

A medical psychologist believes that all diseases in the world are caused by the immune system's defeat. This statement sounds somewhat absolute, but it reminds people that there is a often overlooked connection between emotions and the body.

He has another friend with cancer by his side. He was not surprised by her illness. Her family relationships have always been poor. The suffering, depression, and pain that people endure in their families will settle in their bodies. The brain may temporarily forget, but the body will always remember.

We have always underestimated the intelligence of the body. There is a sophisticated immune system in the human body. The immune system referred to here is not only the narrow definition of immune ability in Western medicine, but also includes self diagnosis, human resource management, self repair, and regeneration. When we experience various emotions, the immune system of our body is often the first to be attacked. More than 70% of people will digest emotions by attacking their own body organs, which is one of the important reasons for the occurrence of diseases.

Different emotions can attack different organs. The ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine once proposed that the kidneys control fear, the liver stores anger, and the lungs store sadness. Someone once conducted an experiment where monkeys were suspended and subjected to electrical stimulation from time to time, causing them to remain anxious and restless. Soon after, the monkeys developed stomach ulcers. After studying the pathological mechanism of gastric diseases using fiber gastroscopy, X-ray, electroencephalogram, and biochemical methods, it was found that the occurrence of gastric diseases is closely related to excessive excitation or inhibition of the cerebral cortex and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system.

Research has shown that the top seven emotions that cause immune system problems are anger, sadness, fear, depression, hostility, suspicion, and seasonal loss of control. There are frequent disputes and frictions in summer, and more depressed patients in winter than usual. Often, frequent negative emotions are the mastermind behind it.

All grievances, entanglements, and anger will eventually turn into an immune storm. Within the scope of Western medical experience, there are still many sudden illnesses that no one knows the specific causes of. Is it because modern people are increasingly prone to various diseases and do not pay attention to their health? No. Too many people are willing to spend a lot of money on health preservation, but this idea is simply treating the body as a machine, forgetting the unity of body, mind, and even spirit.

Renowned psychological counseling expert John A. Schindler once encountered a patient. At that time, all her symptoms were exactly the same as cholecystitis, so John gave her three injections of painkillers. As her condition worsened, a gallbladder removal surgery was performed on her. But this never cured her pain. Finally, it was discovered that her pain was caused by her son's emotional tension during his deployment to the military. When her son returned home, her illness was cured without medication. This may sound magical and incredible, but what is unknown does not mean it does not exist.

Emotions are quietly dominating health. When angry, the muscles at the stomach outlet will be squeezed, causing gastrointestinal spasms; Severe compression of the coronary arteries in the heart can cause angina and even fatal coronary artery spasms. People only like good emotions, such as happiness, and suppress negative emotions, such as sadness and fear. We don't know that all negative emotions, such as grievance, frustration, and stress, accumulate in the body, and one day, an immune storm can take away people's lives. Don't wait until you arrive in time to realize that you should cherish your heart well.

Physical discomfort and illness are inner cries and distress signals. Anemia may be due to a lack of interest in life and a lack of happiness. Asthma may be due to excessive sensitivity, a habit of suppressing emotions, and love that can easily suffocate. Diarrhea may be caused by fear and rejection of certain thoughts, as well as panic about the passing of the past. Headache may be due to easy nervousness and an indescribable fear of the unknown. Insomnia may be caused by stress, guilt, and fear in life. The body does not lie, it faithfully stores all our emotions. Being sick actually reminds us to face our true needs truthfully, handle them properly, and believe in the abilities of our bodies.

Illness cannot be treated alone, it is also necessary to find the source of the illness, which is the source of emotions. A few years ago, Oxner Medical Institution in New Orleans published an article stating that 74% of every 500 patients receiving continuous treatment for gastrointestinal diseases were found to have emotional disorders. Yale University's medical diagnosis and treatment also stated in a research report in 1951 that 76% of patients were diagnosed with emotional disorders. In other words, many patients are not actually sick, but emotionally sick.

When we experience gastrointestinal discomfort, we simply swallow a lot of stomach medicine while avoiding the source of stress and tension; When various red rashes on our skin erupt like small volcanoes, they do not express the voice of 'I am angry, please see my anger'. Many diseases are caused by our own emotions. Even if it improves a little, when emotions come up again, health is gone. Heart disease still requires heart medicine, which seems reasonable now.

Being a good person and maintaining good health are far inferior to nurturing the heart. There are two life rules for reference. One thing is, don't waste your energy on trivial matters; Another point is that everything is a trivial matter. In life, many physical problems are emotional problems, and emotional problems can be summed up in four words: mediocre self disturbance. Many troubles are caused by obsession with small things in front of us, which subconsciously magnifies the unpleasant things. If you get angry over a small matter, sink into sadness over a misunderstanding, doubt yourself for a criticism, it will be of no use to yourself and will be of no help. If you are constantly disturbed by emotions, your happy life will never be again.

The better way to cherish life is not to maintain health, but to manage emotions. Good emotions can alleviate the stress caused by bad emotions, stimulate the pituitary gland in the right way, and achieve optimal balance of endocrine function. Once the endocrine system is in a state of balance, we will feel infinite vitality in our hearts. Knowing how to love oneself is not just about living in the best house, eating the most exquisite cuisine, staying true to your heart, and surpassing yourself. It's about being able to care more about your emotions than anyone else and being more sensitive to the signals your body sends out.

When do you reach a critical point of fatigue and need to rest; When do you need to manage your immune system before getting sick; When do you need to cry or scream; When should we let go and forgive; When is it worth being bold and confident. You need to know better than anyone where your emotions and body are, and then digest it. From today on, do not blindly pursue formal health preservation, and do not blindly follow others' anxious search for good health remedies. Cultivating emotions through practical actions is more effective than any form of health preservation.
