It seems that the constant tension and argument between loved ones does not only affect the course of the relationship and its strength over time, but rather that the matter extends to repercussions that may not come to mind, especially on the health of the intestines. So how?
It is known that the lives of lovers and loved ones are not always perfect, as the relationship is exposed from time to time to many challenges that require dealing with it wisely and rationally, in order to restore things to their previous state or better than that.
Some succeed in a short time in fixing matters, and returning the relationship to a stage in which calm, understanding, and harmony prevail. However, others find it difficult, and constant tension becomes a hallmark of the relationship.
The constant discussions and pressure between loved ones may have repercussions not only on their relationship, but also on their psychological and physical health. The newspaper “Mercure” website explained that the constant debate and discussion in a relationship may also affect the health of the intestine.
The German newspaper stated that the constant conflicts in a relationship between two people burden the soul, and added that if the private life is unbalanced, this may make the sensitive microbiome in the gut suffer as well. And she added that this situation could lead in the long term to diseases and infections associated with the intestines.
And the same source continued that the microorganisms in the intestine have a permanent connection with the brain, as the microbiome can affect feelings and the psyche. The composition of the gut microbiome has an impact on a person’s susceptibility to illnesses such as anxiety disorder and schizophrenia.
The newspaper “Merkur” reported that stress in a relationship may have a significant impact on gut health, as conflicts cause an increase in the secretion of cortisol and other stress hormones, which affect the normal balance of healthy intestinal bacteria.
And it doesn’t just stop there, people who are unhappy in a relationship tend to make unhealthy food choices more often, which in turn affects their gut health.
Benefits of a good relationship
Experts from Belgium’s Catholic University of Louvain have found that good personal relationships affect the microbiome in the gut, by contributing to the richness and diversity of the bacteria that live there. Also, the researchers found that the quality of friendships and acquaintances is very important and beneficial to the person, while tense relationships have no positive effect.
In the same context, psychologist Kathryn Hallesey said: “A growing body of research indicates that our relationships affect the health of our gut, as intimate and close relationships have a significant impact,” according to what was reported by the “24 Vita” website.
And the German site added that previous studies revealed that people who have a good social network are less likely to develop gastrointestinal diseases. He added that people who maintain many good relationships have a more balanced microbiome.
