We know that thoughts are processed in the brain. Since the brain is a physical body part just like your stomach, liver, and lungs are it is essential that the brain be healthy for optimal function. For example, if your lungs were unhealthy due to cigarette smoking your breathing would be more difficult. In the same way, your brain if it is unhealthy, can cause your emotions (by chemical imbalances) to be unhealthy. However, due to traumatic experiences it causes chemicals your brain needs to function to be used up more rapidly than normal causing an imbalance. Optimal health then means having both a healthy brain (by exercise, good diet, vitamins) and optimal thinking (positive thoughts). Therefore, which one of these do you think is the ultimate cause of your negative feelings and/depression?
