8 surprising benefits of tears

1. Detoxify the body:Many studies have shown that tears contain a large amount of harmful substances that are detrimental to health. Therefore, people who cry often have unintentionally eliminated these toxins from their bodies. People who cry less can watch touching TV series or cut onions to exercise their tear glands at least once a month.

2. Improve vision:The basic function of the lacrimal gland is to protect the eyes and improve vision. Therefore, when dust gets into the eyes, you will reflexively shed tears and have a short-term vision disturbance. After that, the foreign objects will be eliminated. In addition, tears also have the effect of washing the eyeballs and eyelids, preventing dehydration of the mucous membranes.

3. Reduce stress:Tears can release stress hormones. People who suppress their tears are at increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and obesity.

4. Kill bacteria:Tears contain lysozyme, a natural antibacterial substance that can kill about 90-95% of bacteria in 5-10 minutes.

People who cry while applying mascara can save some time removing their makeup.

5. Improve your mood:Tears release endorphins, a neurotransmitter in the brain that creates positive emotions and improves mood. In particular, endorphins are also the body's natural pain reliever, relieve mental stress and slow down the aging process. At the same time, tears also reduce manganese, a mineral that can negatively affect your mood.

6. Increase interaction with people around you:You may not like crying in front of others, but this action can bring us closer together. When we cry, friends and relatives will help and soothe our emotions, creating a lasting relationship.

7. 'Detox' therapy for the nose:When you cry, your nose also 'sniffles' naturally. This will have the effect of cleaning the nose, removing a lot of residue and dirt inside it.

8. Prevent colds and flu:Tears can help you avoid illness by reducing stress levels, as stress not only makes you mentally tired but can also build up harmful chemicals in your body, making you susceptible to illness.
