CRY!

Today, I'm gonna blog about something educational.

The benefits of crying. 

I know, I know. You're probably staring at the screen and going 'BLAHH, only weaklings cry!' 
Truthfully, I used to be one of those people and still am lah, I'm just more open to ideas that makes sense to me. I do cry lah, when I get scolded by my parents. ==

And all you men there! Don't think you're all 'man' because you laugh pain in the face! Women handle pain better lah, just that some people go like 'AHHHHH! I have a paper cut!' *frown* *Teary* 
So, people can layan them. =__= 

I'm a sissy as well lah! I admit that. =____=

I googled about crying since I don't think anyone would research on such an 'unimportant' topic. STILL, you'll learn something from reading this. :D

Anyways, back to the topic. I just edited the article but here's the original I just took out quotes since you just want the main points right? :P


1. Tears Help Us See
The most basic function of tears is that they enable us to see. Literally. Tears not only lubricate our eyeballs and eyelids, they also prevent dehydration of our various mucous membranes. No lubrication, no eyesight. 


2. Tears Kill Bacteria
Tears contain lysozyme, a fluid that the germ-a-phobe dreams about in her sleep, because it can kill 90 to 95 percent of all bacteria in just five to ten minutes! This translates, I’m guessing, to three months’ worth of colds and stomach viruses.
3. Tears Remove Toxins
Emotional tears—those formed in distress or grief—contained more toxic byproducts than tears of irritation (think onion peeling). Are tears toxic then? No! They actually remove toxins from our body that build up courtesy of stress. They are like a natural therapy or massage session, but they cost a lot less!
4. Crying Can Elevate Mood
You will feel better if your manganese level is  lower because overexposure to manganese can cause bad stuff: anxiety, nervousness, irritability, fatigue, aggression, emotional disturbance, and the rest of the feelings that live inside your head. 
The act of crying can actually lower a person’s manganese level. And just like with the toxins. Emotional tears contain 24 percent higher albumin protein concentration—responsible for transporting small (toxic) molecules--than irritation tears.
5. Crying Lowers Stress
Tears really are like perspiration, in that exercising and crying both relieve stress. Tears remove some of the chemicals built up in the body from stress, like the endorphins leucine-enkaphalin and prolactin. The opposite is true too. Suppressing tears increases stress levels, and contributes to diseases aggravated by stress, such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and peptic ulcers.


6. Tears Build Community
In constituent to beatific fleshly health, glaring crapper also hold someone physique a community. Usually someone in tears after informing the difficulty in face of his/her  friends or someone who crapper wage support, and this crapper process the knowledge to transmit and socialize.
7. Tears Release Feelings
Even if you haven’t just been through something traumatic or are severely depressed, the average Joe goes through his day accumulating little conflicts and resentments. Sometimes they gather inside the limbic system of the brain and in certain corners of the heart. Crying is cathartic. It lets the devils out before they wreak all kind of havoc with the nervous and cardiovascular systems. All these feelings need to be felt. 

Isn't it interesting? Lol. Anyways, did you know men have the highest suicidal rate? :0

So, people, don't be ashame to cry when you need to. Let it ALL out. You'll just feel better. :) You have NOTHING to lose at all right? Just that your eyes will be a little swollen.

Don't cry over every small problem though, that just means you have some problem you need to go check on. =_______= Or so I read. People can't control the tears or something. LOL.




Ciao!
