Recently, a man who was always in good health, spent a week in bed with severe flu. It was the worst illness in his life. The previous week, he and his wife separated. It seems his unusual ill health was connected with how badly he was feeling.
Humans have long been aware that our health is linked with our thought, emotions and relationships. Now science is catching up with our intuition. A new field of scientific investigation has developed. The name for this new field is: psychoneuroimmunology(psycho = mind, neuro = nerves, and immuno = to do with the body’s immune system).
Simply put, it’s the study of how our thoughts and feelings work with our immune and nervous systems. It is a recognition that how people feel about their lives should also be a part of traditional medical science.
There are already researchers at medical schools who are devoted to the study of psychoneuroimmunology. They are discovering surprising connections between mind and body. This is some of what they have discovered and it is something we can try for ourselves.
Disclosing our painful feelings by writing about them is good for our health. When we write about personal, painful things that have happened to us, or are happening to us, there is an increase in the activity of our immune systems. Our body is more able to make antibodies(those cells that help keep us healthy)when we acknowledge the emotional pain in our lives. More antibodies mean more protection for our bodies.
Keeping negative feelings inside us is bad for our health. One researcher has been working with breast cancer patients. She has been looking at the psychological factors in their illness and treatment. She has discovered that women who did not like to talk about the emotions created by their illness had more chance of dying in under five years after treatment. Of a group of 52 patients, 16 women died. All 16 women had said they usually found it difficult to talk to people about their illness.
So, simply speaking, it is bad for our health to keep negative feelings inside us. We need to talk about them to our family and friends.
Getting rid of stress is an answer to remaining healthy. Other research shows that stress really can make us sick. People who lead stressful lives are more likely to fall ill with colds and flus and other illnesses. But, if we have lots of good quality relationships with family and friends in our life, then we are less likely to fall ill, even though the circumstances of our life might be difficult.
Having a strong sense of self-identity keeps our body strong and healthy. The researchers also say that if we have a clear idea of who we are and what gives meaning to our life(that is, if we have a strong self-identity), then our body has a better chance of protecting itself.
Talking about what is happening to us will make us feel better. Doctors are now changing the way they treat their patients. They are spending more time listening to the stories the patients tell about what is happening in their life. This time spent listening to the patient may be even more important than the time spent examining the patient and giving them drugs. So, if we think we are getting sick, why don’t we find a friend and spend some time talking about our feelings and emotions. We might find that the next day we wake up feeling much better.
