5 feelings that make you feel good

If you think that the secret to good health is having a shelf full of medicines, you are wrong. The solution may be simpler: just learn to cultivate good feelings. In certain cases, the simple fact of laughing, for example, can be much more beneficial than taking a black box medicine.

Knowing how to forgive, being generous and humble are other attitudes that are more efficient for health than going to several doctors. “These attitudes cause the body to block the production of substances that are harmful to health and prevent future illnesses”, says Geraldo Possendoro, a physician and psychotherapist at Unifesp. And the best part: exploring good emotions costs nothing!
