How do political news affect our brain? Consider Experts ' Counsel

The news of the day in our country is filled with politics. Each news edition begins with one or many politicians who often speak clearly between the lines, whether the townman or not.

A study published in the magazine “Plus One” has analysed the physical and emotional effects of civic engagement on politics through news.

According to the study, people are losing sleep and are anxious because of politics.

How is the organism affected?

Kevin Smith of the University of Nebraska, who has conducted the study, says politics has a strong and negative effect on human mental well-being. After interviews with 800 people involved in the study, analysts found that 40 percent of them were stressed by politics.

The study showed that in 20 percent of cases, political disagreements were the cause of the breakdown of many friendships. 4 percent of the people interviewed admitted that they had feelings that motivated them to suicide because of politics.

11.5 percent said that they had health problems from it. 31.8 percent admitted that television, whose editorial policy conflicts with their political views, made them feel crazy.

“Politics has a very negative impact on human lives. The way people perceive politics affects their lives in a very meaningful and strong way”, Smith said.

Stress has decreased over people's lives and has a terrible impact on their lives.

If politics contributes to stress levels, then no doubt its effects will extend beyond the mental aspect and seriously endanger our health.

What are the main organs that are more strongly affected by stress  

When stressed, cortisol levels increase and can compromise the functions of many systems and organs in the body.

Heart

The emotional impact of stress upsets heart rate and poses a danger to individuals who experience arrhythmia.

Brain

When we are stressed, we cannot escape migraine or headaches. Long - term stress, anxiety, and depression can cause sclerosis or Alzheimer's disease.

Skin

Stress can cause major skin problems, starting with acne, paws, psoriase, and skin inflammation.

The Stomach

The stomach is a highly stress - sensitive organ. If you try to stress your food feeders on your plate, they won't match properly.

When stress strikes, the intestines do not absorb their nutrients. They do not transmit oxygen, and blood circulates four times less into the parts of the digestive tract.

The immune system

As we know, the immune system protects the organism from such foreign bodies as bacteria, viruses, and harmful cells.

When we are stressed, the number of lymphocytes in our blood decreases significantly. As a result, they make us an easy target for infections.
