We don’t plan to cry, but it just happens. In fact, when we feel sad or angry, we may possibly have a good cry. But if you didn’t know what crying was, you’d have to wonder why some strong feelings started water falling down from people’s eyes and why they seemed to feel better after that.
Now, a US research has found there may be more in crying than we think. William H. Frey II believes it may really be one of the body’s clever self-repair system. Crying may be a way of getting rid of stress, he says. He has found that in the tears there are some chemicals which can make people stressed. One of these is the hormone which is set free when one is feeling stressed. Since women have more of this than men, that might explain why women usually cry more, he says. Unsurprisingly, Dr Frey’s study seems to show that most people feel better after a good cry, no matter whether you are a man or a woman. So next time when you feel like bursting into tears, go ahead. If Dr Fred is right, you will help yourself a lot.
