Resilient emotional brains also create healthy states of safety in our body. This manifests as a relaxed heartbeat, relaxed muscles, low inflammation, healthy blood flow to our vital organs, regulated digestive and immune systems, slower aging of the body’s cells or telomeres, and high-quality restorative sleep. This safety state protects the body from illnesses like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as digestive problems and neurological disorders. Simultaneously, this safety state powerfully provides protection from anxiety and depression.
