Can thoughts affect our health?

TODAY’S PROVERB: . . . for [my words] are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. Proverbs 4:22

I had a fascinating conversation with a friend about a book he had read. According to Switch On Your Brain: The Key to Peak Happiness, Thinking, and Health, by Dr. Carolina Leaf, what we think about truly affects us both physically and emotionally. According to researchers, 75-98 percent of the illnesses that plague us today are a direct result of our thought life.

In fact, fear alone triggers more than 1,400 known physical and chemical responses in our bodies, activating more than thirty different hormones! Today our culture is undergoing an epidemic of toxic thoughts that, left unchecked, create ideal conditions for illnesses.

The author believes that GOD made our bodies to function, heal, and excel best when it focuses on the truths and wisdom He gives us.

Specifically, the book explores the toxic thoughts that cause our bodies stress — they cause us harm because these thoughts conflict with GOD’s truth.

She uses science, Scripture, and real clinical experience that proves His Word.

How about that, science is only beginning to catch up with GOD’s wisdom!

May we find the Words of life and may they be health to our whole body, my friends.
