INTRODUCTION

In the current definition of health, medical personnel see health in four different areas: Physically, mentally, emotionally, financially; although science now recognizes that there is a spirit in the body and believes that a spiritual man is likely to live long.”

Emotional aspect of health

• Research has affirmed that one thing that makes people live long is the presence of a relationship. And what normally breaks relationship is communication. Relating with people is a way to stay healthy.
• It has also been discovered that when a person’s emotion is affected and leads to bitterness, such bitterness in the heart produces certain chemical in the body that cause cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
