Why should people stay optimistic?

Because emotions can affect lifespan and influence gene expression

By Tony C LustigPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

People just move their thoughts, not through meditation, positive thinking practice, or seeing some things that should not be seen, encounter certain panic will affect our own body to some extent.

In fact, up to now, we can find that many diseases come out of thinking in this way.

So consciousness and matter can never be separated and treated differently.

As long as our brain has consciousness, then it will consume a certain amount of matter, and in turn, the matter is helping the body to produce consciousness.

A person cannot think or even move during a hypoglycemic episode.

So we can also say that the human nervous system, the immune system, and the endocrine system, all three of them act in coordination with each other, and none of them is an isolated system.

It is this interplay of relationships. It reflects a core problem, our human brain will affect our body's hormone secretion as long as we move our thoughts, and it will change the original state of our body's hormones.

So many diseases come from thinking or being angry. Scientists have also conducted more than one survey of centenarians across the country. Including their diet and work and rest patterns. The surrounding environment and so on.

Originally we thought that the living conditions of urban people are relatively better, urban people will also live longer, but in many rural areas happen to appear many centenarians.

This also shows that the material basis is not the main reason to determine the life expectancy of the human body. Some people say that eating sweets is bad, and some people also say that eating too much salt is bad for the body.

But it happens that in some rural areas, some old people just love sweets and also love to eat more heavy food.

So in all the investigations ever conducted, it seems that we can't find the code of longevity from their diet, work habits, and genetics to our satisfaction.

But the only thing we can find from the mouth of all the centenarians is their commonality, that is, their mentality, their optimistic attitude towards things.

Almost most centenarians do not have too many troubles in their inner world.

Some of them even prefer to become deaf and not hear the outside world.

After talking to them, I found out that they have too many children and they don't want to hear about their parents and their children's families.

Not being able to hear, they are not exposed to too many annoying things, so from their inner world, they think to themselves that their children will have a better life.

We seem to conclude from the state of centenarians.

Not everything we need to know, nor do we think the world is a better place once we know it.

Rather, we want the world to be good, and it will feel good in the world.

This is the attitude of the optimist.

If we can't do an optimistic attitude, we can simply keep our hearts rational, think from a rational point of view, and try as much as possible to make ourselves neither optimistic nor pessimistic.

That is, we mentioned before the optimistic.

With an optimistic attitude will feel that all things in the world are reasonable.

There is no need to be calculating everything.

If we look at society from this perspective, then our inner world will also feel less fragile, and by being less fragile, it does not mean that we are strong.

The one who should say, the one who should laugh, the one who is in the optimistic school of thought has troubles that come and go quickly.

All the things that make you unhappy and unpleasant do not hang on your mind for a long time.

All these psychological and personality attitudes that we are talking about will eventually be expressed in our genes from a deeper scientific point of view, and will even be passed on to the next generation.

So people must keep themselves in an optimistic or even rational and optimistic frame of mind.

No one wants to get too close to people with negative energy.

And these negative energy people from the genetic point of view will also be disadvantages from a certain point of view to the next generation through genetic inheritance.
