Your Emotions And Health Are Interrelated

Your emotions and health are very much related.

For example, if you are feeling anxious, hostile, resentful, angry, and jealous most of the time, it will affect your blood pressure, your heart, your stomach, your liver and your digestion.

Prolonged anger can give you headaches and even lead to a heart attack.

Did you know, "Every thought and emotion we experience causes a chemical response in our bloodstream, our organs, and our immune system. Repressed negative emotions trigger dissonant vibrations in the body, which can ultimately lead to dis-ease?"

This statement is taken from the book, "Sacred Pampering Principles" by Debrena Jackson Gandy.

It is believed that over time, constant and unexpressed negative thoughts, ideas, and emotions weaken our bodies and make them vulnerable to diseases such as cancer, and more particularly diseases of the breast, uterus, ovaries, vagina and cervix.

I know from my work as a spiritual counselor, see online spiritual counseling for more information, that negative and blocked emotions can cause illness.

Read how research proves that emotions and health are related.

According to a research published in the journal Health Psychology, Benita Jackson, Ph.D., a psychologist at Smith College, Northampton, Mass. found that losing your temper may make you lose some breathing capacity.

Jackson and her colleagues analyzed a subset of 629 patients from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Adults Study cohort to find any relationship between hostility and decreased lung function.

Another study from Harvard School of Public Health studied hostility in men and found that those with higher rates of hostility not only had poorer pulmonary functioning (breathing problems), but experienced higher rates of decline as they aged.

In another study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger tended to heal more slowly from wounds.

Researchers gave blisters to 98 participants and found that, after 8 days, those who had less control over their anger also tended to be slower healers.

In addition, those participants also tended to have more cortisol (a stress hormone) in their system during the blistering procedure, suggesting that they may be more stressed by difficult situations as well.

Your personality traits affect your health because your personality traits dictate how you handle stress. If you are a “nice” person who doesn’t express anger or frustration appropriately, you could damage your health.

Some doctors call this the "cancer personality" because personality affects cancer cells. If you're too nice, you may be repressing negative emotions, which affects your heart health negatively.

Heart disease or even cancer can develop from a suppressed immune system, which can be caused by not making waves and being polite at all costs. So, certain personalities are more prone to certain diseases.

These negative personality traits include anxiety, hostility, anger, and bouts of depression. The traditional risk factors of heart disease are high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and extra weight.

Each negative personality trait by itself is associated with heart disease; together the traits are the best predictor of your risk for developing poor heart health.

These researchers encourage doctors to address negative personality traits in an attempt to promote long-term heart health - as well as cholesterol and immune system health.
