Excerpt from The 100 Year Lifestyle

For centuries, healers have understood that our emotions and how we regulate them have a direct impact on our physical health.  Modern science is beginning to study this relationship more now than ever. And it’s being referenced as the mind-body connection.  The mind-body connection happens on a physical and neurological level.  Your brain controls the various emotions, beliefs, and feelings that constitute your mind. Neurological pathways connect your brain. They process emotions, feelings, and beliefs to your spinal cord. They also process muscles, cardiovascular system, and the digestive system.  So, when you experience events that cause stress or negative emotions, you are triggering physical symptoms.
