Crying is good for health and reasons why it is good to cry

There are three kinds of cry: reflexive (clears out irritants), continuous (keeps eyes lubricated), and emotional (responding to joy and sadness). Did you know that humans are the only living being who can do the third one? This fact has led many scientists to ask why? If evolutionary changes are based on improving survival, what about emotional crying is beneficial? The answer is: quite a bit.


1. Crying actually improves your mood especially when it is emotional

A recent Netherlands study showed participants that watched sad movies and then noted who cried and who didn’t. Those who didn’t felt no different emotionally after the movie, while the criers felt worse. However, within 20 minutes, the criers returned to pre-movie levels, and after 90 minutes, the criers felt much better than their stoic counterparts. Pretending everything is okay doesn’t solve anything, and all it does is lead to a wealth of pent-up emotions. A good cry is a great way to release the need to hold onto something that is no longer of service. Carrying around emotional baggage can affect your mental health so cry and let it out.


2. Tears have health benefit.

Tears releases toxins that kills bacteria. It is our body’s natural defense mechanism against all those pesky germs found in common public places in our body. Our body is designed to protect us and will take any necessary measure to prevent bacteria from getting in.


3. Crying helps relieve stress

Crying “is believed to release stress hormones or toxins from the body. Crying is a function of the parasympathetic nervous system that is responsible for relaxation. When you cry, you are likely releasing stress as your body begins to relax. That is why a good cry feels so good.

For example: When you got hurt and cry there is 80% chance that you will sleep after crying and when you wake up you will always feel better.

Frey continues, “It’s important that we evolved this ability. If you can alleviate stress, you can prevent stress damage to the heart and brain, and improve long-term survival. We shouldn’t be conditioning young children not to cry; we should be happy that they have the ability.”


The body’s emotional awareness is heightened

Animals cry in order to clear their tear ducts from any debris.

But Humans are have a different reason for tear ducts. They are the only living organism on the planet who cries because of how they are feeling.

A good cry is the body’s cue that it is feeling the emotion and therefore it makes it more self-aware.

By allowing the body to tap into emotions of sadness, it can also become more aware of other feelings such as happiness, relief and gratitude.
5. Cry is a sign of strength.

Crying is a sign of strength regardless of what society says. It takes strength to show vulnerability. So stop worrying about what others think and cry if you want to.

“There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.” ~ Washington Irving
Reasons why you cry

You can’t just sit and cry or just allow tears be rolling out of your eyes. There must be reason why you cry.

Crying Everytime is a no-no for me.

Research has also shown that one of the reasons women live longer than men is because women cry more often thereby releasing emotional stress and burdens while men on the order hand hold back pains and burdens which is harmful to the health.
