Cortisol is necessary to combat stress but too much can be very bad for you. Yes. This is a hormone that your body secretes whenever you are under stress, in a bad mood, grouchy, irritable, cranky, or you just having negative thoughts about yourself or others. Cortisol is to the brain as water is to a computer, it causes electrical damage. Watching the news, a depressing movie, being too sarcastic, or hating someone causes your body to create unnecessary levels of Cortisol in your brain and body. Cortisol also lowers your immune system and it causes you to be more susceptible to air borne illnesses. It is well known that it also causes cognitive impairments.
Two days ago a study came out indicating that people that were optimistic about life recover much faster from surgery than people who are pessimistic...why? DHA!!! That is right. DHA improves your immune system and it increase your life expentacy. I have a grandmother named Etelvina and everyone thinks that she is a little bit loca but she has a lot of energy and she is always laughing; manic, but laughing; why? DHA!
Want some good DHA? Start taking Omega 3 oil capsules, they sell it over the market; start eating more fish, spend more time outside, talk to people, buy flowers and put it on your table, or go to your nearest worship house and borrow some from their beautiful garden (ha ha ha).
