Toxic Emotions Suppress Immunity

Your thoughts and emotions can affect your health.

Emotions that are freely experienced and expressed without judgment or attachment tend to flow fluidly without impacting our health. On the other hand, repressed emotions (especially fearful or negative ones) can zap mental energy, negatively affect the body, and lead to health problems..

It's important to recognize our thoughts and emotions and be aware of the effect they have, not only on each other, but also on our bodies, behavior, and relationships.

Poorly-managed negative emotions are not good for your health.

Negative attitudes and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness can create chronic stress, which upsets the body's hormone balance, depletes the brain chemicals required for happiness, and damages the immune system.

Chronic stress can actually decrease our lifespan. Science has now identified that stress shortens our telomeres, the "end caps" of our DNA strands, which causes us to age more quickly.

Poorly managed or repressed anger (hostility) is also related to a slew of health conditions, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, and infection.
