Now if you’ve read Yuri’s book – Eating for Energy, then you’ll really understand how important it is to eat the right type of food to gain good health - particularly your immune system.
But if you’re someone that suffers from sickness quite often, have you ever considered that your attitude might be partly to blame? I’m thinking probably not, so you might be interested to know that optimistic people actually have stronger immune systems.
In fact optimistic people are 77% less likely to die of heart attack or stroke than pessimists, are less stressed, more resilient, tend to age better and even live longer.
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
You see it’s really easy to be negative and miserable, particularly if you’re always feeling so darn tired all of the time. But it certainly doesn’t have to be that way.
Negativity drains people of energy which is certainly not good.
Negative thoughts are toxic. They release chemicals that are harmful to the immune system, deplete energy, speed aging and damage brain cells.
So as you can see, a negative attitude can literally make you sick!
Studies have also revealed that at least 75% of illness originates in the mind. Prolonged negativity leads to depression which releases more toxic hormones that further weaken the immune system and lower the body’s ability to fight disease.
Instead, people with a positive attitude bounce back faster when things get them down. Positive thoughts release serotonin which makes us feel good, aids memory and can even prevents brain damage.
Now the good news is that a positive attitude can be developed. Since we can change our thoughts, we can certainly change our attitude.
So stop complaining, criticising, and judging. It’s only going to make you prone to sickness – and a person that nobody wants to hang around with.
If you’re constantly getting sick all of the time then I definitely recommend you start by reading Yuri’s book – Eating for Energy. And along with a change in your attitude – you’ll be well on your way to improving your health!
