The Benefits of Crying for Emotional Health
instance did you know
Crying is good for the soul
Why is that doctor
Because when you cry
When they take tears and put them under the microscope
They see these little small pieces of little like hairs
They're called dendrites
Dendrites are broken off little nerve endings
When you cry about something
Let's say it's something that it's grief and sadness somebody's passed away
There's tissue in your body that's holding on to the memory
Of that event or that person or that thing?
When you cry a really good cry
The little dendrites that look like trees they look like tree branches
They break off
So that the nerves can move away from the tissue that's affecting you so much or the issue that's affecting so much
So that you can move through
the tough moment and the grief
grieving is really important because the crying is
Breaking off the connections that your body or your nervous system has to the memory now. You don't forget it
But it's not as extreme not as strong once you cry a lot of things we have not cried about
We haven't released them
So the dendrites don't get a chance to break off and especially like me. We're not supposed to cry
It's not good for a man to cry. It's tough. I'm stuck on a cry. I'm not gonna cry
Well, this is why a lot of men have heart attacks and have issues with their major organs to begin to shut down because there's
Too much pressure build up and they have to let that pressure out crying is good for the soul release it
