In this fascinating TED talk cardiologist and author Sandeep Jauhar calls upon us to pay more attention to the power and importance of emotions in taking care of our physical health. Modern medicine continues to conceptualize the heart as a machine. The American Heart Association still does not list emotional stress as a key modifiable risk factor for heart disease. Jauhar argues for a paradigm shift in which psycho-social factors become a primary focus in how we think about heart problems.
Dealing with emotional stress is more strongly correlated with reversal of coronary disease than exercise, says cardiologist.
