We have been regularly coming across news of a young, fit, teetotaler person in their late 30s succumbing to heart attacks or collapsing on their morning runs/ walks. You might have heard the sayings, “stress is a silent killer”, “mind over matter” etc. These are not just catchy phrases; there’s some truth to them. Our emotional health, feelings and thoughts, can affect our bodies in ways beyond comprehension of modern science. In the healing community, the mental emotional causes of diseases are studied and understood in depth.

It is a favorite topic in large corporates and medical fraternity to blame everything on Stress. Be it hypertension, diabetes, stomach ulcers, acidity or any ‘lifestyle disease’, Stress is blamed for them. While prolonged stress is harmful, is it really the cause of all of these? Or is there more to it than meets the eye?

Holding onto negative emotions has a huge impact on your emotional health. It is like carrying around a heavy backpack full of rocks. It weighs you down. Over a period, those emotions can contribute to things like back pain, organ trouble (diabetes or thyroid issues) or stomach troubles like ulcers and IBS.

When you laugh, it sends happy signals to your body, and it loves it. Laughter is like a mini-vacation for your emotions and your health.
