The Effects Of Negative Emotions On Our Health

The Effects Of Emotions On Our Health

Emotions play a large part in our well-being.  Worry and Sorrow are detrimental to good health.  The graph explains the various parts of the body that are affected when we are unhappy and sad.

Humans experience an array of emotions, anything from happiness, to sadness to extreme joy and depression. Each one of these emotions creates a different feeling within the body. After all, our body releases different chemicals when we experience various things that make us happy and each chemical works to create a different environment within the body. For example if your brain releases serotonin, dopamine or oxytocin, you will feel good and happy. Conversely, if your body releases cortisol while you are stressed, you will have an entirely different feeling associated more with the body kicking into survival mode.
