Through positive emotions to good health

Maybe you should not go to the gym today? Joint research of scientists from the University of North Carolina in the US and the Max Planck Institute in Germany revealed that a positive outlook on life and friendliness can play a role for you, like diet and exercise. In the course of the experiments, the influence of such seemingly incompatible concepts as emotions, social connections, improvement of health, and the "upward spiral" on which this influence is taking place was studied. In the 21st century, we entered with firm confidence that the mechanism of diseases in our body is triggered from negative emotions. Doctors-psychosomatics scientifically proved how selectively affects a person's body or other negative emotions, confirming the judgments of the ancient philosophers medicine, that fear destroys our heart, sadness and sorrow erupt stomach intestines, anger will ignite our liver.

And since "All the diseases are from the nerves!", The numerous methods of healing the body were reduced to cultivating ways to protect oneself from negative emotions. The possibility of generating positive emotions was not even discussed, since there is a belief that for a person to control one's feelings is as enigmatic as, say, weather management. In the course of the research it was shown that human emotions can not only be controlled, but also, as the project manager, Professor Barbara Fredrickson, emphasized, direct them in order to improve physical health, that is, body health. As a criterion, the "tone of the vagus nerve" of two groups of volunteers was studied.

For reference: the vagus nerve (Latin Nervus vagus) is the X pair of cranial nerves that provides regulation of the internal organs of the cardiac muscles. That is, during the experiments completely real parameters were controlled, and not subjective categories. For complete objectivity of the conducted studies, they were randomized, that is, the selection of patients was completely random, plus volunteers did not know the outcome of their groups before the end of the work. Two groups of participants were diametrically opposed separated by attention of themselves to the researchers. If one group had to live a normal life for six weeks and wait for something, then another group listened to the LKM (loving-kindness meditation) course, that is, the meditations of loving kindness, where they were trained to bring up the feelings of love, benevolence, compassion for those around them. Full-valuemeditation was conducted at home without limiting the number of sessions.

It was noted that the growth of this very human benevolence has spontaneously increased the number of social contacts, and this, in turn, increased the "tone of the vagus nerve" or vagal tone. Here is the rising spiral: the number of positive emotions increases, the tonus of the vagus nerve grows, the client becomes more socially sociable, the social connections become stronger, the health grows stronger (there is no time to hurt!), The communication network is clearly expanding, the nerve-wracking nerve is growing, we are even more willing to communicate and so on. The control group had no changes in tone.

Summary: Look at life more positively. Of course, the muscles, like those of Schwarzenegger, will not grow, but it will not necessarily be sick. Again, no need to walk and purr: "Hari-Krishna!". Get up early in the morning, five o'clock. Those who get up early are given to God. By the way, in the morning from 4 to 8 hours is the energy of goodness, and from 8 to 16 - the energy of passion. Arise, with utrechka congratulate yourself, Earth, Sun, wish everyone happiness. Know that all day you will meet only good people. This will help you better than any medication.
