Linking Emotional and Physical Health

By | January 18, 2009

IndianExpress.com reminds us that “poor emotional health can actually weaken the body’s immune system, making you vulnerable to a host of infections.”

A writer asks, “How many of us actually notice that we tend to be more prone to catching cold when emotionally stressed?”

According to the article, a recent (unnamed) report “indicates that people who are depressed tend to be more prone to fractures. Evidently, bone health also depends on mental health.”

The point is: emotional health is important for physical health.

    Emotional health is key to physical health. You know how you can’t get happy while your body feels bad? Same thing in reverse… IMO.
