Crying may seem to many as a sign of weakness or sensitivity. However, scientific research conducted by scholars shows that shedding tears has a number of positive effects on human health. According to a study conducted in the state of Minnesota, crying helps remove chemical substances accumulated in the body during stress. Therefore, after crying, a person feels lighter and better emotionally.
Crying not only ensures the elimination of harmful substances from the body, but also serves as a mental helper in lifting the mood and overcoming difficult situations. According to Freud’s theory, a person’s inner emotions must be expressed, because if they are kept inside, this may negatively affect physical or psychological health.
Through tears, a person can establish a stronger connection with the people around. If, while you are crying, there is someone near you who supports and cares for you, your relationship becomes even more sincere and strong.
Crying brings benefits in many aspects: it moisturizes dry eyes and ensures their healthy functioning, helps remove various irritating or harmful substances that enter the eyes. At the same time, the antibacterial properties of tears prevent the development of infections.
Moreover, during crying, endorphins — the “hormones of happiness” — are released in the body. They not only improve mood but also relieve pain. Therefore, crying has a positive effect on health by eliminating excess hormones that could otherwise lead to heart, vascular, stomach, bone, or muscle problems.
In conclusion, it can be said that tears are a natural and healthy process for humans. They provide not only emotional relief but also physical well-being. Therefore, instead of suppressing your emotions, expressing them freely is a beneficial step for your health.
