It's often said that laughter is the best
medicine. It's because "shedding (流出) tears always makes us feel better in the stressful
situation", according to the Daily Mail. But how does crying have this
power?
A recent study in the journal
Motivation and Emotion suggests that crying can release certain chemicals that
lead to a better mood. For the study, 60 men and women were asked to watch a
couple of sad movies.
Of the participants, 28 cried during the
films, while the other 32 didn't shed a tear. The researchers found both the
criers and the non-criers were in a low mood while they watched the movies. However, the 28 criers were reported to be in
a better mood after crying. The research found that a high level of the
chemical linked to stress was released in their tears. This suggests that when
we cry, our bodies shed chemicals, reducing stress and leading to a feeling of
greater well-being.
It is a natural pain-killer. The increased
amount of endorphin(脑内啡) made the criers feel better.
But does this mean that crying is always good for us?
According to The Conversation, crying being good for people is a subjective question.
However, if you cry often, you will become more sensitive, which will make you feel worse.
A. If you haven't cried in a long time, crying can comfort you.
B. It seems that crying is a safe and effective way to deal with stress.
C. When you're upset and stressed, you have an imbalance in the body.
D. Also, more chemical endorphin was found in bodies of the crying participants.
E. Afterwards, they were interviewed about how they felt before and after they saw the films.
F. This was because the sad atmosphere caused their bodies to release more chemicals linked to stress.
G. However, when we are feeling blue or stressed, many of us feel more like crying than laughing.
Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information,how to separate fact from opinion,how to recognize poor reasoning,and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported,and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome;this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true,probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully,and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration,but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
