how do you get sicker if you think a lot about something? |
Issue like someone is sick in your family and you think a lot about that person. Docters says if you think a lot about that person you will get sick, if this is right can you explain it ? Best Tip worries are reasonable part of life. but your mind can only take certain ammount of worries. It it's pushed too much, it can lead to mental breakdown, - insomnia, anxiety, depression... so try to relax and don't worry way too much, your doctor is right, it's not healthy. Be there to help, but try to cope, and don't fall for the worries. Others If you worry too much about whatever, you may get sick. He just basically means if you continue to worry over something then it will make you ill. Such as losing your appetite, butterflies in your belly etc. I guess it would be because of stress hormones. When you're stressed, your body cuts down on essential functions like digestion and repair during sleep (and sleep, too.) It focuses on "fight or flight"--it prepares you to freak out and run or protect yourself by fighting or arguing or war or whatever "fight" you have to go through. But people can get that stress response over non-threatening things, like, say, your sports team lost, or you hate your neighbor's yard. Zebras don't get ulcers (a stress-related illness) because they only stress when there's actual danger, like a lion about to eat them. They don't stress about how their car is low on gas and they're late for work. Just real stuff. And then, when the danger is past, their stress is gone, too. So your immune system goes downhill, and you become susceptible to whatever made your family member sick. Stupid, right? But that's how humans work. We just have to focus on not stressing ourselves out, about doing things to reduce the stress we do have and make us feel energized and healthy. Exercise, meditation, a good diet--all these things can reduce the effects of stress on our bodies. If we can think ourselves stressed, we can think ourselves unstressed. It's hard, but it's possible. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, by Robert Sapolsky |
