Scientists have long proved that good-natured people, merry fellows and optimists visit doctors much less often than bad-tempered people and beeches.
A group of Swiss researchers led by Peter Bruegger went even further in their research …
If you want to be healthy
Scientists have conducted a very curious experiment. We recruited a group of absolute optimists and pessimists from among the volunteers, gave both of them a flu shot and began to wait. A month later, it was found that pessimists produced far fewer antibodies against influenza than optimists. Three more years later, it turned out that among the whiners, 70% fell ill with the flu. But among the merry fellows, this figure fell short of up to 30%. The conclusion suggests itself: smile more often, be cheerful, no matter what, think only about the good!
Don't build up grudges
Recently, more and more doctors are inclined to believe that the source of the most terrible diseases, including cancer, are our grievances, which we cherish and cherish for years.
Promotional video:
Some take offense at the villainous fate for the fact that life did not turn out the way they would like.
Others - on girlfriends who betrayed their interests.
Still others - on a sweetheart who went to another.
The fourth - for children who have not lived up to expectations.
Many people accumulate resentment for years against a neighbor who refused to lend money; the boss who unjustly dismissed them from their jobs …
When a person is offended, he constantly remembers what exactly he was told, mentally asks the enemy questions, responds to his attacks against him - in a word, leads a silent dialogue with him.
The unpleasant situation rolls over in his head over and over again, forming an energy cord through which his vitality leaves. Is it any wonder that people are vindictive, aggressive, who accumulate grievances for a long time and do not know how to forgive, get sick more often and live less than good-natured people.
There is a simple rule in nature - like attracts like. If you accumulate resentment and get annoyed over trifles, you will become like a ball of anger.
Your negative energy will attract new offenders and new grievances. How to break the vicious circle? Stop sulking, forgive everyone and everything, forgive yourself. Start your day with a smile, do good to people and think only good of them.
Learn to enjoy life and develop positive thinking. Good thoughts will attract goodness into your life, harmonize energy. And then there will be no trace of disease.
The word is not a sparrow …
… but sometimes we are completely unaware of what has been said. We say terrible things as a joke, not realizing that it can undermine our health. Here's a simple example from life. Marina Petrovna's husband was drinking heavily; in emotional excitement, she told him more than once: "I don't want to see you." As a result, for several years she practically lost her eyesight. She developed cataracts and the treatment was in vain.
Eliminate phrases like: "I would never hear you!" From your vocabulary. After all, they are nothing more than an installation, a signal to our body that we do not want to hear.
How often do we lament at the festive table: "My sick liver will not stand it." We say this by the way, implying that there is a lot of food and alcohol and it will be difficult to master all this, but few people think about the true meaning of this phrase. In the meantime, you state the fact that your liver is sick. And the more often you say this, the faster it will actually hurt you.
When we are very frightened, we say: “I almost didn't have a heart attack” or “I almost had a stroke” … And these are not at all harmless phrases, but an attitude that a strong fear can turn into a heart attack or stroke for you. Be more attentive to what you say, avoid phrases such as "sitting in the liver", "there is a stone on the heart", "standing across the throat", "I'm just going crazy", "it hurts to see", "even lie in the coffin" etc.
Do not use foul language, do not tell people nasty and nasty things, do not use obscene words, do not break into a shout. All this leads to various diseases of the throat. And the more you swear and say nasty things, the more difficult the disease will be.
Illness and character
By the way, the disease, according to many doctors, directly depends on the nature and way of life.
People who constantly reproach themselves for choosing the wrong path, the wrong profession, have not realized themselves as a person, suffer from leg diseases.
Eye problems arise in those who are always dissatisfied with themselves and the world around them, see everything in a gloomy light and are constantly worried about the future.
Citizens with low self-esteem, fearful of changes to the point of trembling knees, as a rule, have problems with the lungs and respiratory system.
Gastritis is the lot of people who are restless, unsure of themselves, those who are worried, nervous and lose sleep because of all the nonsense.
Seizures are also an affliction of fearful people who constantly live in tension and fear of the future.
People who are angry, aggressive, hot-tempered often suffer from bronchial asthma. No wonder the people say: "I found it difficult to breathe because of anger."
Citizens are aggressive, ambitious, striving to be the first in everything and experiencing violent failures, are prone to diseases of the heart and blood vessels. By the way, according to scientists from Columbia University, it is anger and irritation that play the main role in the occurrence of heart disease.
Peptic ulcer and duodenal ulcer are several times more likely to affect people who are emotional, irritable, and react sharply even to minor troubles. Experienced experts identify ulcers by behavior, or rather, by increased nervousness.
Those who do not know how to forgive insults, as well as irritable, angry people suffer from liver and biliary tract diseases. No wonder there is an expression "bilious person". In Ozhegov's dictionary it is written like this: "bilious - irritating, angry".
Hot-tempered, persistent, stubborn and easily excitable people suffer from hypertension. Doctors even have the term "hypertensive character". They define them as a hot-tempered, stubborn person who adores everyone to teach.
People who are intolerant of other people's opinions and other people's mistakes suffer from frequent migraines. In addition, they are characterized by a high level of claims and resentment. They are anxious about any reason and easily get depressed.
Talkative, excitable people, whose mood changes every half hour, suffer from diabetes.
How to Become an Optimist?
So how do you become an optimist in order to forget about insidious ailments once and for all? Is this possible if by nature you are still a pessimist? Sure!
When you find yourself in an unpleasant situation, imagine for a moment what the happiest person would do and feel in this case. You will immediately feel better, there will be hope or at least a glimpse of it.
More often remember the people who loved and love you, and conduct a mental dialogue with them, and not with the offenders.
In traditional psychology, childhood trauma is believed to be the source of our mental problems. To say so is to judge too simplistically. Absolutely everyone experiences mental trauma. Only inborn optimists have a mentality arranged in such a way that everything bad is discarded automatically, while pessimists remember everything and accumulate a load of failures and unforgiven grievances. To get rid of them, psychologists have come up with an interesting technique. Its essence is this: if you remembered something bad, immediately stop the internal monologue, preventing it from developing, switch your attention, for example, turn on the TV or music. Check each of your breakdowns. By the end of the day, count the check marks - your dark thoughts - and try to reduce the number the next day.
Clearly realize that it is in your power to take control of painful thoughts: you have generated them yourself, which means that you yourself can get rid of them. Research by psychologists has shown that the development of new thinking occurs within a month. So be patient for thirty days. And the result will not be slow to show itself.
