Weeping can increase the quantities of enkaphalin you (9)&nbsp; &nbsp; .Unfortunately, in our society we impose restrictions upon this naturally (10)&nbsp; &nbsp; activity.Because some people still regard it as a (11)&nbsp; &nbsp; of weakness in men, boys in particular areadmonished when they cry. This kind of repression can only increase sừess, both emotionally and physically.Tears of emotion also help the body (12)&nbsp; &nbsp; itself of toxic chemical (13)&nbsp; &nbsp; , forthere is more protein in them than in tears resulting from cold winds or other irritants.
