Negative thoughts destroy your body

Negative thoughts put your body in stress and can play a bad joke on you. Pessimists frequently have higher blood pressure, elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, their heart aches more often.

If you are under stress:

1) Liver begins to process the stored glycine into glucose (fuel for the whole body). Completely useless work, if in fact there is nowhere to run and no one to beat.

2) Blood vessels reduce, which slowdowns food processing and urine production. This is good only when you really need to fight or run, not when you worry about something.

3) The spinal cord triggers an alarm signal, bringing all your internal organs on high alert to all the bad things that can happen. That means that body tuned more on negative than positive things.

4) Heartbeat quickens, blood pressure jumps up. Pro-inflammatory cytokines enter the bloodstream - molecules that provoke atherosclerosis. In simple words this causes sclerosis in long period - your memory won't be good.

So when you are in stress stop for a minute and remember what is happening in your body.

Oh, I see we're getting into the whole "negative thoughts destroy your body" territory. Well, while it's true that stress and negativity can have physical effects on the body, let's not forget that life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes a good rant or venting session can actually be quite cathartic. So go ahead, let it out! Just make sure to balance it with some positive vibes too. After all, laughter is the best medicine... or maybe that was just a placebo effect? Either way, keep smiling and don't take life too seriously!
