We can eat all of the spinach and kale we want, but if we don't work on making every part of our life healthy, there will be a missing piece to the happiness puzzle. Not only does food matter to our well-being, relationships matter, friendships matter, exercise matters, physical touch matters.
High cortisol (stress hormone in body)= lower immune system = poor health
Negative words and negative thinking raises cortisol levels.
Whether you put yourself down, or put others down, your limbic system doesn't know the difference. Whether you send the negativity inward (being self critical/ poor self talk) or outward (criticizing others), it is experienced in the same place in the brain (your limbic system). This activates cortisol. Hearing negativity also activates cortisol.
Negativity is a toxin.
Excess cortisol makes your overweight and smacks you with a lower immune system.
Positive people = healthier people.
Be a glass half full kinda person.
Happy health.
