Physical Effects Caused By Emotion
According to The Center for Spirituality & Healing at the University of Minnesota, there are many physical effects that negative or mis-managed emotions can have on us.- New scientific research shows that chronic stress can decrease our lifespan by shortening telomeres in our DNA which are responsible for aging.
- Poorly managed anger can cause hypertension, or high blood pressure.
- Repressed stress and anger can cause digestive disorders.
- Chronic stress can upset the body's balance and deplete the brain chemicals required for happiness.
- According to FamilyDoctor.org, negative emotions can also impact your emotional health physically through:
- Insomnia or trouble sleeping through the night.
- A stiff neck due to the build-up of stress.
- Weight Loss or Gain stemming from negative emotions.
- Overall poor emotional health can weaken your immune system, which makes you more likely to get colds or infections.
