6 HAPPY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CRY
Posted by CITYHEALTHBLOGGER on NOVEMBER 15, 2017
EDIT

Crying,we’ve all had a good one.Whether it is from from that hot slap you received from your mum or dad,the day you saw that break up text,the day you lost someone dearly or thae day you saw that sad movie (Titanic?).Following the stream of salty river sliding down your cheeks,making your eyes salty and puffy,are benefits which does not reach our vulnerable psyche.
☆Do you know that:
■Humans are the only animals that cry due to emotional reasons
■We produce 10 ounces of tears a day and 30 gallons per year.

Tears can be basal,reflex,or psychic.Emotional tears are known to calm the iris.It is contagious,ie it can be transferred to the other.
So let’s get emotional,sit and read the benefits of crying.

1)IT DETOXIFIES
Crying does not only clean mentally.Tears clears debris such as smoke and dust from eyes.Crying continually help lubricate the eyes and protect them from infection.Emotional tears combats stress hormones and other toxins . Researchers have theories which suggest that crying eliminates these out your system.This is as seen also in urination and sweating.

2)RESTORES EMOTIONAL BALANCE
Researchers at Yale university,believe that crying may help maintain emotional equilibrium.When you cry,either from being happy,or sad.It may be your body’s way to recovery from experiencing such a strong emotions.

3)KILLS BACTERIA
A good cry can be an effective way to kill bacteria.Tears contain “Lysozyme” which breaks down the walls of the bacteria.It can also be found in semen,mucus.Lysozyme can kill 90-95% of bacteria in just 5-10 minutes.

4)CALLS FOR SUPPORT
Have you noticed that any time you cry,someone is always there for you . Crying is a way to let people around you know that you need support.Since you were a baby,crying has always been an attachment behaviour.It helps to get comfort,care and social support from others when things are rough.
5)HELPS BABIES BREATH

If you are a mother,you would know that a baby’s first cry is very important.If you are not,at least you know now.A baby must breathe on his own at delivery.The first cry helps the baby’s lungs to adapt to life in outside world.It also helps to clear extra fluid from baby’s lungs,nose and mouth.

6)IMPROVES MOOD
Do you remember how a little relaxed you were after that your last cry . That’s what crying does,it relaxes you.According to a 2008 study from University of South Florida found that crying can be self-Soothing and elevate mood better than any antidepressant.
So we’ve seen it . I’m not advising you pinch yourself till you cry yourself a river.But remember that whenever you cry,you are getting benefits people with anxiety and mood disorders can’t get.
♡Hope you are having a great week…
