Most of us are familiar with the concept of detoxing our food, water, personal products, and so on. But did you know that it's just as important to detox your emotions in order to prevent disease? Detoxing your emotions by learning to forgive and feel can be key.

In fact, research supports this idea. Dr. Karen Schwartz, MD, a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins, found that ongoing emotional states can weaken your immune system. Over time, this can lead to an increased risk of diabetes, depression, heart disease, and other diseases.

Emotional struggles and stress have also been linked by research to obesity, cancer, fibromyalgia, pain, and more. It's time to get rid of those negative emotions!
