Chronic stress, nervousness, negative emotions, weakened immunity, vitamin and mineral deficiencies increase the risk of getting sick. Illness is a signal to a person that he is doing something wrong in his life. Our lives are full of stress (both emotional and physical) and worries. Emotional stress may well be the cause of the disease.
People noticed a long time ago that angry, envious, selfish people most often get stomach ulcers, pancreatitis, and colds. If a person is often worried, he has pains in the heart, blood pressure increases, and the risk of developing diabetes increases.
Scientists have proven that human diseases are directly related to his character, emotions and lifestyle. So, what to do to be healthier?
Eat plenty of protein
Experts say that protein is the main component of cells of the immune system. They protect us not only from colds, but also from many other diseases (for example, parasitic diseases, cancer). In autumn and winter, when these cells must function much more intensively, there must be enough protein in the body. Eat foods that contain this component in large quantities: lentils, beans, meat, fish, almonds, dairy products, cheese, eggs and seeds. These foods should be in your diet every day.
Do sports
In the cold season, there is an irresistible desire to wrap yourself in a warm blanket and spend the evening in front of the TV. But you shouldn’t do that. It is better to leave the house and walk a lot in the fresh air. In addition, start going to the pool, to the gym or do any other sport that you like. So you will strengthen the immune system and prevent many diseases (for example, arterial hypertension, diabetes and obesity).
Consult a psychologist or psychotherapist
If a person’s emotions are mostly negative, he is often stressed, then he has a greater risk of getting sick. To get rid of some diseases (for example, depression) or to reduce symptoms (as with hypertension), you need to understand yourself and learn to manage your emotions. Tibetan monks claim that all diseases are caused by misunderstanding one’s body. If a person understands and realizes his mistakes, then the symptoms of the disease will significantly decrease.
In the Ancient East, it was believed that a person who does not understand himself will not be healthy and happy, Even Plato claimed that before starting to heal the human body, it is necessary to heal the soul, because soul and body are closely connected. A psychologist is a specialist who “heals a person’s soul” and helps to understand oneself. If visits to a psychologist do not help to solve problems, you should contact a psychotherapist. This doctor may use CBT, advise taking antidepressants (such as Buspirone Viatris or Clofranil) and other methods to improve the patient’s condition.
Before visiting a specialist, you can independently read books on psychology or find on the Internet a description of the reasons that led to a certain disease. If you are ready to work on yourself, you will achieve significant results.
