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
