HERE’S WHY OUR WORLD WOULD BE MUCH HAZIER WITHOUT ALL THREE TYPES OF TEARS
Do you know that tears convey messages?
These messages can evoke empathy or kindness in others. However, that is not the case for epiphora. This condition cannot be regulated or linked to only emotions, as it is usually a sign of conditions that affect the tear system or the eyes. Before delving into epiphora extensively, did you know there are different types of tears?
TYPES OF TEARS
There are three types of tears, each with distinct functions. Some tears maintain eye moisture, while others cleanse away debris and safeguard the eyes from infection. The third type, emotional tears, is equally crucial.
They include:
1. BASAL TEARS: Basal tears contain oil, mucus, water, and salt. They help combat infections, with the oil ensuring their stability and preventing evaporation. Blinking distributes them evenly across the eye’s surface, enhancing vision and focus.
2. IRRITANT TEARS: These types act as natural eyewash and spread by the glands under the eyebrows in response to irritants such as onions, vomiting, or eye debris. They flush out the offending material and are responsible for the streaming tears when allergies peak.
3. PSYCHIC OR EMOTIONAL TEARS: Intense emotions like sadness, grief, joy, or anger cause these tears. While sharing the chemical composition of basal tears, they contain higher levels of stress hormones and natural pain-relievers. Both humans and animals have compounds in their bodily fluids that convey subtle messages to others of their kind. Consequently, these tears can communicate chemical messages to nearby individuals, eliciting empathy, compassion, or warning signals. Kindness, compassion, societal suffering, physical pain, attachment-related distress, and sentimental or moral sentiments trigger emotional tears. Studies also suggest that individuals are more likely to experience emotional relief after crying if they receive support from others.

vykřiknout a říct, že mě opravdu baví číst vaše příspěvky na blogu.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
The very root of your writing while sounding agreeable originally, did not sit very well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your jumps in logic and you might do nicely to help fill in those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I would surely be amazed.
Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
webside er virkelig bemærkelsesværdig for folks oplevelse, godt,
Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
