WORRY AND FOOD
PSYCHOLOGISTS and doctors emphasise the intimate relation that exists in the body-mind. Worry, fear, unpleasant mental attitudes, jealousy, and all those feelings we may term “negative,” react first of all on the digestive system and so proceed to attack the very foundations of health. All these feelings tend, to change the bodily secretions to such an extent that digestion is either arrested or seriously impaired. . . . Meals are less than useless when taken in the wrong frame of mind. Unless we can manage to control our emotions and concentrate our minds on pleasant matters it is just as well to eat very little food. In the same way it is foolish to permit or initiate scenes with children at mealtimes.—Elizabeth Cross in the Psychologist, London.
