摘要
Background:At the beginning of the 70s,Dr.Candace Pert discovered for the first time the first component of the molecules of emotion,explaining and demonstrating how the mind and the body are interconnected.This study aims to confirm the importance of emotions and how they intervene or are related to different types of pathologies,thus confirming the importance that this relationship represents for the state of health.Method:A systematic review has been carried out on the implication that emotions have on the state of health.A generalized search was carried out,preferably in articles published and related to our study in the last five years,mainly basing the bibliographic review on H ealth S ciences and S ocial S ciences databases.Results:We have been able to verify how emotions,in general,can favor or worsen diseases such as heart,mental,eating disorders,autoimmune diseases,or cancer,among others;in addition to the importance of positive and negative emotions in all kinds of diseases.Conclusions:We have seen throughout this study how emotions interfere with our state of health,especially due to the greater number of negative emotions that surround us daily to the detriment of the positive emotions that we know favor the state of not only physical and emotional health but also of social and general well-being.We need to look for situations or environments that,in a certain sense,foster positive emotions every day and in any place where we find ourselves(home,work,street,etc.).
