Mind-body interaction

Mind-body interaction refers to the way our mental states, like thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, can influence our physical health and bodily functions, and vice versa. For example, stress (a mental state) can raise blood pressure or weaken the immune system (physical responses), while physical health issues can affect mood and mental clarity. This interconnectedness underscores that our mental and physical aspects are deeply linked, forming a dynamic system where changes in one can impact the other, highlighting the importance of holistic approaches to health and well-being.
