Positive emotions can lead to physical and mental health, while negative emotions can lead to diseases. Why?

Modern medicine has found that human body has autonomic nervous system, which is divided into sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve. The functions of these two nerves are opposite.

When people are happy, the vagus nerve is excited, which increases the digestive juice secreted by the gastrointestinal tract; The activity of phagocytes increased; Slow heartbeat; Arterial vasodilation; Slow breathing; Blood sugar is lowered, pupils are narrowed, body temperature is lowered, and pain is relieved. When people are sad, the excitement of sympathetic nerve can reduce the digestive juice secreted by gastrointestinal tract; The activity of phagocytes decreased; The heart beats faster; Arterial vasoconstriction, the intensity of cardiac contraction is strengthened, blood pressure is increased, and the heartbeat is accelerated; Bronchial relaxation and accelerated breathing; Blood sugar rises, pupils dilate, body temperature rises and the pain is unbearable.

1946, the Canadian physiologist Hans Seri found that if the human body is subjected to bad stimuli, such as anger and fear, there is a common phenomenon besides the reaction of the corresponding organs, that is, sympathetic nerve excitement. He called this common reaction a stress reaction. Anatomy of limbs showed that after the emergency response, people's adrenal glands were swollen, lymph nodes were atrophied and gastric ulcer appeared. That is to say, when the human body is in a negative state, the autonomic nervous system is unbalanced and the sympathetic nervous system prevails. To put it bluntly, people's emergency response is like firecrackers, which explode as soon as they touch the fire. A quick temper is easy to deal with emergencies. It also urges impatient people to lose their minds and go to the hospital, so the emergency response is more serious and the condition is more serious.

1993 Bruce Maievin, a psychologist at Yale university, discussed the relationship between emotion and disease in Archives of Internal Medicine. For example, emotional changes can lead to a variety of effects, including impairing immune function, even accelerating cancer cell metastasis, increasing the chance of virus infection, accelerating platelet aggregation, leading to arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, myocardial infarction, accelerating type 2 diabetes, causing asthma or making it worse. In addition, a bad mood may also lead to gastrointestinal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, gastroenteritis, and aggravate the primary disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine research has found that when people have positive emotions, it is beneficial to improve stomach qi and improve people's disease resistance; When people accumulate negative emotions, people's stomach qi is weakened and their disease resistance is correspondingly weakened. Therefore, psychotherapy is an extremely important content in court health preservation. Traditional Chinese medicine has formed a set of comprehensive and meticulous psychotherapy methods, such as doing things, establishing a career, cultivating oneself and so on.

In our daily life, we often encounter stories such as "sorrow is greater than heart death" and "one night's loss of head". At the same time, there are stories such as "a kind word warms three winters" and "a ten-year-old girl actively fights cancer", which directly or indirectly shows that different emotions will bring different health States.

At present, the research on emotions and physical health in medical and psychological fields has fully demonstrated the relationship between emotions and diseases, such as how negative emotions such as anxiety, depression, hopelessness and helplessness affect the functional changes of biological systems.

Relevant studies at home and abroad show that emotional factors can act on sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves of gastrointestinal tract through nerve center, and sympathetic nerve dysfunction can cause abnormal vascular function of digestive tract, induce ulcer and gastrointestinal bleeding; Abnormal tension of parasympathetic nervous system can cause gastrointestinal secretion and hyperactivity, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension and other symptoms. At the same time, Lim WY and other studies have found that persistent and intense negative emotions such as emotional excitement and mental tension can act on hypothalamus through cerebral cortex, affecting the function of autonomic nervous system and stimulating the secretion of digestive juice in gastrointestinal tract.

Therefore, we need to keep positive emotions to avoid diseases and eliminate the negative effects of negative emotions.

At the beginning of the 20th century, positive psychology began to rise, and a large number of studies found that positive emotions played an important role in health protection, such as courage, optimism, happiness and hope.

Bertrand Russell, an English philosopher, put forward that "positive emotion is a good feeling when you want to smile when things are going well". Fredrick son believes that positive emotions are a unique immediate response to personal meaningful things and a temporary pleasure; Meng Shaolan believes that positive emotional time is related to the satisfaction of certain needs, usually accompanied by pleasant subjective experience, which can improve people's enthusiasm and activity ability; Cognitive theory of emotion, on the other hand, thinks that positive emotions are people's feelings when they make progress in the process of achieving their goals or get positive comments from others.

So is positive emotion really useful? The answer is yes!

In addition, positive emotions can not only promote the therapeutic effect of diseases, but also strengthen the ability to prevent diseases. For example, living in a warm and intimate relationship with parents, after 35 years, the number of diseases diagnosed in middle age decreased (such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, ulcers, alcoholism).

The reason is that when people are in a positive emotional state, they can regulate the thalamus and thymus through the brain, which will affect the functions of autonomic nerves and endocrine in the body, increase the functions of cellular immunity and humoral immunity in the body, and thus enhance the ability of resisting diseases in the body. In the field of psychology, there are two representative models of the mechanism of positive emotions on health, namely, the direct effect model and the pressure buffer model.

First, rational use of relaxation method. Including meditation, yoga and muscle relaxation exercises.

Second, keep smiling. Here's an interesting psychological knowledge-our brains can't distinguish between a sincere smile and a fake smile, so as long as you laugh, your body will produce dopamine, a chemical that makes you happy.

Third, leisure activities and sports. The purpose of this method is to keep our body at a certain level of metabolism and delay the aging of the body.

Fourth, control negative emotions. For details, please refer to another answer, "How do irritable people control their emotions?".

If there is a healthy person, there is hope; A hopeful person has everything.

When we face difficulties and harmony, positive emotions can bring us confidence to overcome difficulties, and we will have a bright future, a happy mood and physical and mental health. On the contrary, we are full of doubts and negative attitudes, and the problem has never been solved, which makes us insomnia, insomnia and low immunity, which leads to illness.

When we face some unrealistic things, such as gambling, positive emotions will make us fantasize about getting rich overnight, which is not conducive to physical and mental health. Negative emotions will make us turn around and return to normal life.

So both positive and negative are double-edged swords. Only by controlling them correctly can we really benefit our physical and mental health.

This statement is not absolute, to some extent, it can only be said to be relative. Positive emotion is only a kind of initiative, and negative emotion can be said to be a kind of passivity or passivity, because the expression of both emotions is the emotional expression made by the parties' evaluation of the reality, and has no direct connection with physical and mental health.

The embodiment of positive emotions is just a kind of thinking, which does not necessarily form the embodiment of behavior. If positive emotions lead to the embodiment of behavior, there may not be a successful result. On the contrary, if negative emotions are not reflected in behavior, they are just a kind of thinking and cannot determine the substantive existence.

Whether it is positive or negative, emotion is a double-sided emotion that people have. Everyone can't have only one emotion, either positive or negative, and the embodiment of these two emotions is the two different emotional reactions of the parties to the environment or situation, or the effective evaluation of people.

Emotions are varied, such as panic, sadness, fear, anger, joy, excitement and so on. People can experience it, and these emotions are reflected in different scenes or situations, not the same consistency. The emotions reflected must be consistent with the factual response at that time.

According to the above theory, we can understand that in the environment or situation we are facing, or in the state where things happen, the emotional response we have is the emotion generated by the actual existence of this thing. Of course, both positive and negative emotions are not unity of opposites, they are adaptive and reasonable.

If analyzed from this angle, no positive emotions will lead to our physical and mental health, while negative emotions will lead to our illness. It can be said that both of these emotions may lead to our physical and mental health and diseases.

For example, we are very interested in something and really treat it with positive emotions, but the result is not as successful as we expected. Naturally, your positive emotions have been hit. If you can treat and understand it correctly, it may not have much influence on your heart. On the contrary, this blow is enough to make you depressed, at least you won't be in a good mood.

Why is there such a result? It is precisely because you have positive emotions that you want to do this well to deal with this matter, but you are not fully prepared and have no reasonable self-evaluation. Obviously, you have a positive emotion, but this emotion has turned into a negative positive emotion, forming a psychological factor of self-attack.

Are relative, not absolute. Many times, when we face certain things, if we adopt negative emotions, it may also protect us from some kind of blow and avoid certain factors that lead to mental illness. At this time, negative emotions may not be a good thing.

Freud's words have made us see people's position on emotion. We treat the appearance of a thing, and the emotions we show are definitely different. Whether we are positive or negative depends on ourselves, but many times, we are influenced by emotions.

Especially when we make mistakes in judgment, emotions are uncontrollable. At this time, emotions control the direction of our behavior or thinking, but this is not a bad thing. The happiness or pain in our lives are all formed because of the diversity in our lives.

It is not difficult to understand that negative emotions are indeed beneficial to us at some time, but they are harmless. If we treat them blindly with our positive emotions when growing up, then our life will be too tired. When this kind of emotion appears, then the positive emotion may be negative.

Regarding negative emotions and positive emotions, the embodiment of the two emotions must not be the embodiment of behavior, but just stay in thinking. All emotions are formed through our cognitive consciousness and thinking. If there is aggressive behavior during this period, whether it is positive or negative, the consequences are unknown.

If what you want to see, or what you want to get, is only predictable, because if you don't reflect on your behavior in person, what kind of result it will achieve can only be said to be unknown. Of course, you may think that it is feasible and successful to use your positive emotions, but it is not necessarily true.

If we hold a negative attitude towards some things, that is, negative emotions, it may not have much influence on us, or we may feel psychologically lost. This is not to say that we are encouraged to treat everything with negative emotions, but to treat certain things that are predicted by our cognition.

Everyone has a self-defense mechanism, and it is this defense mechanism that can make us have positive emotions or negative emotions in many things. This may be a hunch of us, and it is indeed a defense mechanism, which has made great psychological adjustments for us to cope with everything in life, study and work.

Never treat negative emotions as a pessimistic attitude. Positive emotions are positive attitudes. Actually, it's not like this. It depends on your environment at that time, what are the realistic elements, and what kind of emotions you have made a correct evaluation, whether positive or negative, are correct.

Speaking of positive emotions can make your body and mind healthy, while negative emotions will be riddled with diseases, which is actually incorrect. Although it is opposite, it is also relatively unified, because no matter what kind of emotion you reflect, it is formed by self-judgment, not by nature or some factors. If you are influenced by the outside world, then you are not in control of your emotions, but are influenced by others or external factors, so you are destined to be like this.

Smile, worry less, worry less, grow old.

Scare will make pregnant mothers fall behind, and children are prone to epilepsy when they are born.

Too much fear can kill people. Ancient books recorded that patients were bound and blindfolded in a dark and silent environment. Hang a pig bladder on the opposite wall of the patient, prick a hole with a needle, and let its urine naturally drip on the slate. The wrong touch of the knife back on the patient's wrist made the patient hear the blood dripping from the wrist, which led to his death due to pressure.

Some patients are furious and crazy, which is caused by yang deficiency. The patient is suddenly subjected to severe mental stimulation, and it is difficult to solve the depression problems including depression, which leads to yang disorder and irritability.

All walks of life in the whole society need to live in harmony, and the number of patients will naturally decrease. If people often fight, the strong will put pressure on the weak, and if they don't eat it once, they will feel hungry, because some unsatisfactory things can't be solved and vented, which will stimulate contradictions. One will fight for two ugliness, and the other will make the two societies need to forgive and forbear. The strong will ask you to show mercy. This society needs overall harmony and friendship.

Spirit is fundamental.

Emotion is a factor affecting health, which can affect the operation of qi and belongs to qi disease.

Qi disease, syndrome of qi disorder in zang-fu organs, meridians and qi.

Manifestations of qi disease:

"Su Wen? Treatise on Febrile Diseases says: "All diseases are born of qi. "It is pointed out that the universality of qi disease, regardless of exogenous internal injury, first affects qi, leading to abnormal qi, and then affects blood, body fluid, viscera and meridians. Therefore, qi disease is the most common. Qi is the handsome of blood, and blood is the mother of qi. Qi and blood coordinate with each other in physiology and influence each other in pathology. Qi disease can affect blood, and blood disease can also affect qi. For this state of seeing both qi disease and blood disease, we often say that both qi and blood are sick. The common symptoms of qi and blood diseases include qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi deficiency and blood stasis, deficiency of both qi and blood, qi escaping with blood, and qi failing to absorb blood. , are caused by the combination of qi and blood.

How does qi disease happen?

"All diseases are due to qi, and all diseases are born from qi"; Qi diseases are divided into internal diseases and external diseases, in which there are seven emotions, and outside there are six evils of "wind, cold, summer heat, dampness, dryness and fire".

The seven emotions are joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise. The seven emotions are the different emotional responses of the human body to external objective things, which are normal phenomena of life activities and will not make people sick. However, if it is subjected to intense or long-term emotional stimulation, it will go beyond the normal range of physiological activities and cannot be effectively released, which will lead to the disorder of visceral function and qi and blood function. As a pathogenic factor, seven emotions directly affect the related visceral functions, so it is called internal injury seven emotions.

Emotion is the emotional external reaction of a person's psychological state, which can be roughly divided into two categories: one is positive emotion, such as excitement, happiness, hope, courage, tranquility, goodwill and harmony; The other is negative and depressed emotions, such as pain, panic, anger, melancholy, depression, dissatisfaction and disappointment.

Positive emotions can make people feel happy and relaxed, stimulate fighting spirit and spirit, and are beneficial to health; Negative emotions can make people depressed and disheartened, which is harmful to health.

The human body is an extremely complex organism, and everyone has it in secular desires. Normal emotional activities are suitable for physical and mental health. However, when the mood is out of balance, it will cause the imbalance of yin and yang in the human body, form a bad constitution, and thus induce diseases.

In Huangdi Neijing, the twelve meridians has his own emotions. The reason of negative emotions is energy blockage in meridians. When the channels and collaterals are unblocked, the negative emotions will naturally disappear.

The twelve meridians's main emotions are in the right place. Let's see what kind of emotions you have and which meridians you have are blocked.

The official of the heart thinks that it is the official of the monarch. It not only produces various emotions, but also directs the operation of various parts of the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that secular desires cooperate with the five internal organs and operate according to the nature of the five elements, thus ensuring the health and unity of the body. No emotion can be excessive or indispensable, and joy is extremely sad and extremely helpful. If you use it well, you will be healthy physically and mentally, but if you use it badly, you will be sad and sick.

Laughter makes you younger. A positive and optimistic attitude will make people feel happy, and positive psychological hints will make you smile at life even in adversity, go against the wind, meet the storm of life, break through one bumpy life after another, and move from victory to victory? .

Negative emotions, even if the sun is shining, are still drizzling. Anger hurts the body, depression and early death are common in ancient and modern times.

Facing life with a smile, everything is easy.

This is not entirely correct! Many people's illnesses are also caused by positive emotions! For example, heart disease, there are many modern people! Nothing is eternal and perfect! Only between relative range and category! For example, exercise can be healthy! But excessive and unreasonable system coordination! On the contrary, it will do harm to the body! So, everything is reasonable! Meet the overall needs and demands of everyone's system! You can't follow the law of death as science suggests! It should be based on the personal physique of different age groups! Make a personal health plan according to different people! Dull mood is also a state and practice of human self-repair! So there is Zen! Close the door! Did not lead to real death! Scientific formalism is across the board! It is knowledge divorced from reality, not wisdom! A thinker! The road to the world!
