Little do we know about the influence of these simple words we make use of each day ‘’THANK YOU’’. It is a psycho physiological process that works as a chain reaction encompassing the heart, the mind and the brain. And since the heart is the central regulatory organ, it serves to absorb the wordings ‘’thank you’’ and transform it to a unique sensation directed to the brain faculty of analysis through the nervous system. The mind works in a tip-tap orientation where information takes milliseconds to be analyzed, expressed and manifested, and the individual will feel a sense of belonging, appreciated, welcomed and happy.

THANK YOU has a great value on one's health, it is a golden word which has the potential of ensuring internal peace and healing as confirmed by an experiment conducted in Hong Kong with a cardiac patient (asymptomatic heart failure) where feelings of love and gratitude were employed to cure the illness, a grateful heart is a healthier heart. However, this study reveals that patients with higher gratitude scores had better mood, high quality sleep and less inflammation.

Science has begun to figure out exactly how gratitude works and why it improves both psychological and physiological indicators. The neurotransmitter called dopamine has a level of influence on being grateful, and people with higher dopamine have easier time feeling grateful and vice versa and this is indicative in parkinsonism, where an individual tends to forget most things he should be grateful for or people to appreciate.

Ordinarily, ‘’thank you’’ a form of gratitude, strengthens the heart, the mind, the body and the soul, maintaining happiness and well being. The way we humans lived our life can be transformed if only we can acknowledge the relevance of ‘’thank you’’, being thankful for things you have and appreciating both the goods and bad, it ensures a longer and healthier life. Always spare some minutes to think about things to be grateful for as it to a great extent nourish the soul and pays healthy life.
