The State of Your Mind and Body

There is no denying the connection between the brain and the rest of the body. The mind-body link is a concept that has been around since ancient times, when it was first discussed by philosophers. You don't have to be a philosopher to wonder if there's a connection between your mind and body.
Today, when we discuss the mind-body connection, we are talking to the ways in which one's physical health can either positively or negatively affect one's mental and emotional well-being. It is believed that if we keep a happy attitude and focus on helping others, our minds and bodies will work together like clockwork, while the opposite is true: that we will not be at our mental or emotional peak if our physical health is poor. It's common sense that when you're feeling down, it's difficult to be in a good mood, and vice versa when you're feeling up. In this post, we'll go over several self-care practices that can help you maintain a healthy mind and body.
The brain and body are connected by neural networks made up of neurotransmitters, hormones and chemicals. From breathing and digestion to pain perception and motor control to thought and emotion, our daily lives are orchestrated by signals traveling along these channels.
