Every negative thought - this is a step to the hospital ward

Everyone knows that negative thinking is bad for health, and constant stress kills. But not all realize how much the body responds to every negative thought.

at the University of Ohio in the spring of 2013 research was conducted, the results of which can cause you to change your way of thinking. The experiment showed that the negatively stained thoughts directly affect the level of C-reactive protein in the body.

What is C-reactive protein

This protein is a sensitive and rapid indicator of tissue damage. In other words, when the body is inflammation, necrosis or injury, the concentration of C-reactive protein is increased.

According to the concentration of this protein in the blood determines how active the disease occurs and at what stage. In inflammatory processes, parasitic infections, tumors, and injuries accompanied by inflammation and necrosis of tissue, CRP level very quickly and repeatedly increases.

Thus, the official medicine, the dependence of inflammation and C-reactive protein, but its level of influence our thoughts?

Positive vs inflammation

The Ohio State University study involved 34 healthy young women. They were asked to imagine this situation: you want to get a job and talks about his candidacy, and appreciate you two serious man in white robes, who are sitting at the same time with "Stone" persons.

Thus, half of the participants was given the task to present their performance at this interview, and the other half - think about neutral events and activities such as a boat ride or hike to the store for products.

The researchers then compared the blood samples of the participants from the different groups. It was found that levels of C-reactive protein in women, representing the interview, was significantly higher than that of those who represented the usual, quiet activities.

Furthermore, when women no longer imagine a stressful situation, CRP levels continued to rise even for an hour, and only then stopped and went into decline. To bounce back, the women needed another hour neutral thoughts.

Neradostnye conclusions of pessimism

The conclusions are not encouraging, especially considering how many negative thoughts spinning even in quiet moments in the life of the head, not to mention stressful situations.

We can survive half an hour unpleasant moments from the past, simply because we have been reminded of past pain, talk for hours about the negative aspects of life, while experiencing the real, strong emotions.

And all this time we have offended someone, angry or sad, the body's inflammatory processes begin, or increase, if they already are.

But there is this is a positive thing: now you know about the influence of negative thoughts on health, and not about any ghostly long-term consequences, but about the very real processes that continue for up to an hour after each negative experiences.

You can not immediately and completely eliminate from your life negative thoughts - affects the habit, and the stresses are not going anywhere.

But now you can at the time to say, "Enough to chew on this topic. Health is more expensive. "
