How Negative Emotions Can Affect Your Physical Health:
Emotional health is closely related to physical health, and it is important to understand how our emotional state impacts our physical health so we can take steps to reduce their effects on our bodies. Negative emotions can have a profound effect on our immune system's ability to fight off illness and disease, as well as increase the production of the stress hormones cortisol, which can lead to other health issues like weight gain, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

The Impact of Positive Emotions on Your Physical Health:
Positive emotions can have a powerful impact on our physical health as well. Positive emotions also release endorphins (molecules associated with pain relief) and serotonin, which help regulate sleep, appetite, and mood. These hormones help us feel good and reduce stress, and when we experience more positive emotions in our lives, we can enjoy better physical and mental health.
