Talk about the influence of emotions.

The influence of emotions on health has obvious two-way characteristics, that is, good emotions help to promote and maintain health, while bad emotions will damage health. Health should at least include physical health and mental health. Health is not just the absence of illness and weakness, but a perfect state of body, mind and society, which of course cannot be separated from a good mood. When people's pursuit is realized, their career is successful, their life is happy and beautiful, and their physiological and social needs are met, these happy things will produce positive emotional experiences and be beneficial to health. On the contrary, when individuals encounter some unpleasant things, such as slander, false flattery, blow, sudden death, widowhood, lovelorn, divorce, excessive economic burden, or illness, or overwork, mental stress, etc., they will have negative emotional experiences.

The emotional process is accompanied by obvious antibody changes and physiological state changes, which are manifested in the activities of various internal organs. When people are angry or shy, there will be breathing, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, increased oxygen consumption, blushing and other phenomena. In general, emotional reaction is caused by appropriate reasons and perceived by the parties, and its reaction intensity is commensurate with the situation that caused it. When the factors causing the emotional reaction disappear, the reaction will gradually calm down. Normal emotional reactions, whether pleasant or unpleasant, help the brain to be in the best state of activity, keep the balance of chemicals in the body, give full play to the potential of the body, improve the efficiency of mental and physical strength, and enhance the resistance to diseases. Optimism and happiness can increase the charm of entry, thus helping to establish and improve interpersonal relationships and strengthen interpersonal psychological adaptation; But unpleasant emotions such as anxiety, sadness, fear and anger are also beneficial to people as long as they are properly reacted. Anxiety can increase the nervous tension of the brain, activate the thinking ability and speed up the reaction, thus improving the work efficiency. Moderate fear can alert people, avoid danger and prevent failure.

Improper negative emotional experience is harmful to health. Because the activities of various organs of the human body are commanded and dominated by the nervous system, especially the central nervous system of the brain. Long-term bad emotions often leave the brain in a state of excessive excitement and fatigue. Over time, it will gradually lose its normal function of commanding and regulating the activities of various parts of the body. As a result, neurasthenia, insomnia, gastrointestinal diseases, hypertension, cerebral thrombosis, cancer and other diseases are numerous.
