Go EASY..........wid BREAK UPS....or emotional pain....


Why have we evolved emotional pain? 


DAVID FULFORD-BROWN, BY EMAIL

Because wanting to avoid the situations that cause it would have helped our ancestors survive. We are a social species that naturally lives together in close-knit groups. So those of our ancestors who felt awful when they were rejected by friends or family would have tried to avoid such events. They would have made better group members and been more likely to survive and pass on the capacity for emotional pain to their offspring. When things do go wrong, the pain suffered can act as a reminder – don’t get into a relationship like that again! Or don’t treat people the way you did before. Perhaps unsurprisingly the underlying mechanisms are closely related to those for physical pain. For example, social rejection and grief have effects visible in the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, which is also involved in physical pain, and both types of pain affect the heart and hormonal systems. This is why we say “it hurts” when we feel rejected or unloved.

crying is gud or bad?

Why Does Crying Feel Good
Crying is the shedding of tears and is a natural human activity. A neurological connection between the tear duct and the human brain was established during the human evolution. But why does crying feel good? Well, read on to find out the details about this phenomenon.
It is a widespread belief that crying makes us feel good, it is even seen as therapeutic at times. It is considered that failure to cry can prove to be dangerous for our physical health. Although there is no specific reason why crying makes us feel better, however, unlike reflex tears (like when one cuts onions, or if someone has allergy) which is made up of 98% water, the emotional tears have a higher concentration of hormones and even proteins.
Stress can have too many unfavorable effects on our health. We release stress when we cry, and eventually it makes us feel good. It has a positive effect on mental health as well because crying is the most natural way of coping with pain, stress, and sorrow.
The basic scientific conclusion that various researches have drawn is that there are certain chemicals and hormones which gets accumulated during some stressful trauma. What crying does is, it releases these toxins. It also releases endorphins; it is the chemical which makes us happy. Since it releases these stress hormones from our body, we feel better after we cry. According to William H. Frey who is a biochemist at the University of Minnesota, crying gets rid of the stress hormones, particularly adrenocorticotropic hormone, which makes us feel good and better.
Slowly, science is also beginning to confirm all these theories. For perhaps the first time, researchers are successfully verifying that crying is actually good for us because it reduces tension and it increases the body's ability to heal. Not only tears, but perspiration, urine and air that we exhale rid the body of various toxins and wastes. According to many studies, people not only feel better after crying, they also look better physically as well.
Although crying might not bring back a loved one from the grave or restore a love affair that is finished, yet some biological changes do occur inside the human brain as one cries. It even helps to get through depression and heals the body and mind of emotional pain and hurt.
When a person cries, he/ she also experiences high levels of arousal, and when subsequently the arousal levels come down to normal, it makes the person feel a lot better. What this essentially means is that the person might not feel better in literal sense, but he feels better by the contrasting effect because of the distress during crying.

On the other hand if a person cries everytime he/ she is criticized or has a fight with a friend, etc. then that is a warning sign of some sort of deep hurt of self esteem. Such a person should seek help immediately.





At a community hospital in a Chicago suburb an 8-year-old girl asked, "May I cry, or should I be brave?" Her question came moments before she was taken into surgery for a leg amputation.

In New York City an editor received a phone call and dissolved into tears. When coworkers expressed concern, he reported his mother had just died. Flowers were sent to him, and then it was discovered that the death was not his mother but his beloved cat.

These examples demonstrate the conflicting feelings people have about crying. On the one hand, shedding tears can show deep love and concern. On the other hand, some see tears conveying lack of discipline and courage.

Yet, at one time or another everyone cries. Perhaps no other element of living has so much mystery and confusion linked to it as the human tear.

In spite of mixed feelings about tears, poets and novelists have known intuitively that crying is somehow good for us. For example, Shakespeare wrote: "To weep is to make less the depth of grief." And Tennyson once wrote about a woman who learned her military husband was killed: "She must weep or she will die."

Amazingly, science is beginning to confirm the accuracy of such statements. For the first time in history, researchers are verifying that crying is for us because tears appear to reduce tensions, remove toxins, and increase the body's ability to heal itself. In short, scientists are drawing the conclusion that people who are able to cry may enjoy better physical and emotional health.

Here's how experts answer some of the most common questions about crying.

1. Why do people often feel better after crying? Alan Wolfelt, Ph.D., and a professor at the University of Colorado Medical School, works primarily with people who are mourning the death of a loved one. "In my clinical experience with thousands of mourners, I have observed changes in physical [appearance] following the expression of tears .... Not only do people feel better after crying; they also look better."

And according to Dr. William Frey, a biochemist and director of the Dry Eye and Tear Research Center in Minneapolis, the reason people feel better after crying "is that they may be removing, in their tears, chemicals that build up during emotional stress." His research indicates that tears, along with perspiration, urine, and the air we exhale, rid the body of various toxins and other wastes.

As far back as 1957 it was discovered that emotional tears are chemically different from tears that result because of an eye irritation. Emotional tears contain more protein and beta-endorphin, one of the body's natural pain relievers.

Margaret Crepeau, Ph.D., and professor of nursing at Marquette University, has studied the subject of tears from both physical and emotional angles. She claims that healthy people view tears positively, while people plagued with various illnesses see them as unnecessary and even humiliating. Dr. Crepeau states: "I found that well men and women cried more tears more often and at more times than did men and women with ulcers and colitis."

Consequently, in the school of nursing at Marquette University nurses as well as those in training are urged not to automatically provide tranquilizers to weeping patients, but to allow the tears to do their own therapeutic work. Dr. Crepeau states "Laughter and tears are two inherent natural medicines whereby we can reduce duress, let out negative feelings, and recharge. They truly are the body's own best resources."

2. Why do women cry more than men? Is it true that women cry more often than men? Dr. Frey and his colleagues worked with 331 volunteers, aged 18 to 75, asking them to keep a "tear diary" for 30 days. Women reported crying four or five times more than men during this period. The reason has more to do with body chemistry than cultural conditioning, states Dr. Frey.

He notes that women have serum prolactin levels much higher than men. Prolactin is a hormone connected with the production of tears as well as breast milk. "Hormones may help regulate tear production and have something to do with crying frequency."

Interestingly, studies show that there is no difference in crying patterns between boys and girls up to the age of puberty. "Then, between the ages of 12 and 18," says Dr. Frey, "women develop 60 percent higher levels of prolactin than men, and they start crying nearly four times more often."

3. How often do people cry and why? People shed tears far more often than is realized. According to Dr. Frey and the "tear diaries," the following appears to occur:

* Sadness accounts for 49 percent of tears;

* Happiness for 21 percent;

* Anger for 10 percent;

* Sympathy, 7 percent;

* Anxiety, 5 percent;

* Fear, 4 percent.

But these statistics do not tell the whole story. Tears reflect a profound humanity. One man, a driven and successful executive, broke into tears on the subway while reading about the debilitating poverty of a homeless mother with four children. A woman who is a high powered attorney in Chicago weeps whenever she hears a Mozart concerto.

Scientific Importance of Early sleep

I-net researching the topic of sleep and providing the printed scientific reports and conclusions which form the basis of this article. After conducting hundreds of experiments on sleep and health, the world’s leading scientists have discovered that to keep optimum health, one should sleep early and rise before sunrise.

The best hours of sleep for your body are between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m. going to bed at 11 p. m., 12 p. m. or 1 p. m. is extremely harmful to human health, and is a direct cause of many modern “killer diseases” such as heart disease and cancer.

Nature acts and moves according to precise rhythm cycles influenced by the rotation of the earth, sun and moon. Daily the sun rises and sets, the seasons come and go, the moon waxes and wanes, and the ocean tides rise and fall. The function of sleeping and wakefulness is part of this natural rhythm. In Nature, one finds that the animals and plants are awake and asleep in tune with these rhythms. human beings also have natural rhythms.

Our human bodies, like Mother Nature, function according to natural cycles, body rhythms commonly called the internal body clock or the biological clock. Disruptions of the natural functions of our biological clock due to improper habits and incorrect sleeping patterns cause many different diseases. When our bodies are out of balance and not functioning in harmony with nature, nothing seems to feel right. This is because hormones, chemicals and neurotransmitters that determine our energy levels, vitality, and how we feel, sleep and eat are out of sync. In other words, we are imbalanced and out of tune with our biological clock and going against the natural harmony established by mother nature. Prior to the widespread use of electricity, as seen in Indian villages fifty years ago, people would go to bed shortly after sunset, as most animals do and which Nature intended for humans as well. The best hours of sleep for your body are the hours of 10 p. m. – 6 a. m.

These hours and what your body is naturally programmed to do during these hours (see chart below), are governed by the movements of the sun and the 24-hour natural rhythm cycle of your internal body clock – both of which are beyond your control. During these times (10 p. m. –6 a. m.), human body is designed to be at a state of rest, repair, detoxification (elimination of waste products and poisons) and rejuvenation. Our bodies are produced by Mother Nature. If we act foolishly and go against the natural order and design of our body, we will pay the price by getting various diseases and problems. For example, if your body is overtaxed digesting a heavy late meal or you are up late (after 10 p. m.) working, playing, watching TV or computer, your vital body energy is focused there and not available for rest and rejuvenation.

The biological clock and the main internal organs of your body work according to a “Time Schedule”. Knowing how your body works can help you regulate your schedule in order to attain the optimum level of health and well-being.
9.00 p. m. – 11.00 p. m. : At this time, your body eliminates toxic chemicals from the immune system (lymph nodes).**It is best to be sound asleep by 9 p. m. or 10 p. m. for your body to properly execute this important function.
11.00 p. m. – 1.00 a. m. : This is the time your liver eliminates poisons and rejuvenates itself.**It is best to be sound asleep by 9 p. m. or 10 p. m. for your body to properly execute this important function.

12.00 midnight – 4.00 a. m. : this is the time your bone marrow produces blood.**
1.00 a. m. – 3.00 a. m. : This is the time your gall bladder eliminates toxins and rejuvenates itself.**
3.00 a. m. – 5.00 a. m. : This is the time your lungs eliminate toxins and rejuvenate themselves.**
5.00 a. m. – 7.00 a. m. : This is the time your colon eliminates poisons and rejuvenates itself. This is the proper time to empty your bowel.**
7.00 a. m. – 9.00 a. m. : This is the time that vitamins, minerals, proteins and nutrients are absorbed in your small intestines. You should definitely eat breakfast at this time.

** Global scientists have concluded that everybody should go to bed early (falling asleep by 10 p. m.) to obtain Quality Sleep, which will ensure proper physical regeneration. When you co-operate with your internal biological clock and allow Nature to take her course, you will feel refreshed, joyful and energized when you wake up (by 4 a. m., of course!). Going to bed before 10 p. m. is essential to keep the human body in tune with Nature and to remain healthy, happy and holy. material scientists have concluded that the average human being needs 8 hours of sleep per day, which is best obtained by sleeping between 10 p. m. – 6 a. m.
