Crying

Crying is actually quite good for you. According to biochemist William Frey, emotional tears (as opposed to tears of irritability) remove toxins as well as chemicals like the endorphin leucine-enkaphalin and prolactin that have built up in the body from stress. Crying also lowers a person’s manganese level, which is a good thing. I even read somewhere that crying burns 1.5 calories a minute. If you’re like me – who can cry off and on for the whole day – those calories add up. I’d say you have just earned yourself a chocolate shake. I consider a crying spell like an inner shower. It cleanses my insides so that I better process pain.
