How Gratitude Affects Health Positively
Gratitude affects health positively, here’s a few ways:
- Being grateful connects us to something bigger than ourselves.
- It's more than a feeling, gratitude activates key regions of the brain such as the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the ventral striatum (a key brain region)
- Committing to a gratitude practice may reduce negative emotions and provide a natural stress detox for mind and body.
- By regularly experiencing and expressing gratitude, we change our perspective and think about things in new, more positive ways. This cognitive “rewiring” has a biological foundation, in that the brain reorganizes signaling pathways between neurons. This may also have benefits for brain health.
- Gratitude to God helps our wellbeing.
- Gratitude isn’t just feel-good fluff — science shows it has a measurable impact on your mind and body.
- What are your grateful today? Help your health, find something daily and say it outload!
1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
