How does your body influences your emotions?

There is an undeniable link between feeling healthy and feeling happy. When was the last time you had the flu, a migraine, or heartburn and felt joyful at the same time? While many of us would agree that there is a relationship between our internal workings and our feelings of happiness, many of us don't take active steps toward living a healthy, positive life. How can we meet our goals when our body isn't feeling up to par? Tiredness, aches and pains, and feeling under the weather can all be big hindrances to our goals. It is very important that we nourish our bodies with adequate amounts of the right foods, condition ourselves to maintain and build strong bones and muscles, rest properly at night, and generally adhere to a healthy regimen if we expect to feel positive emotions.

I get mean when I feel tired or kind or kind of ill! It is not good anyway! Thus, I won't talk too much, it I have a flu or something. What if I speak something wrong... Some people keep positive all the time. U are one of the greats, I bet; Me, on the other hand...I am kinda screwed

Hi Msedge, Yes it is so true we are what we eat and eating healthily and being healthy helps to release the joy within us that we couldn't possibly feel if under the weather and on that note I am feeling tired so it is off to bed for me LOL. Ellie :D

although there is a saying that goes, what the mind perceives the body can achieve. sometimes no matter how happy and positive you want to be, but your body is not that able or synchronized to what the mind perceives. balance is the key...healthy and strong body. when we get sick, sometimes there is imbalance of hormones. and hormones manage our moods. and we know that moods have great influences on how we think and how we react. there are a lot of cases where physical condition affect the mindsetting of a person. ergo, stay healthy in order for us to stay positive. =)
