We all know our brain is linked to how we think and feel, but sometimes it’s easy to forget it also controls your body. Especially, if you spend all day sitting at a desk.

 

Activations in the emotional centre of your brain will trigger signals, generating hormones and other biochemical reactions, which profoundly impact your body. The result is that unprocessed mental and emotional struggles will often show up in your body. This could be anything from tightness, tension, aches, pains and headaches, through to digestive and gastro-intestinal problems, immune system impairments and even cancers.

 

Neuroscience is beginning to understand the complex interplay of body-brain processes. If you’re suffering physically, it may be time to review your physical AND emotional functioning too.
