Dr. Francisco, founder of the great cancer research hospital in Tijuana, Mexico made a statement during an interview, saying, “One bout of anger will diminish the efficiency of your immune system for six hours, but one good laugh will increase the efficiency of your immune system for twenty four hours.”

This confirms what the Book of Proverbs 12:22 NKJV says, “A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Our inner life affects our physical well-being. A merry heart is “a happy heart” as in Proverbs 15:13 NIV, which says, “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” When we are happy, we can smile and laugh, and it does good to the body like medicine.

However, when we have a broken spirit which refers to being depressed or saddened, it weakens the body immune system. Usually a person who is depressed is also angry, like a father grieving over a wayward son. Therefore a broken spirit dries up the bones, suggesting that spiritual and physical health are related.

Many times we are unaware that we are weakening our own bodies through our own negative emotions like anger, bitterness, resentment, hatred, unforgiveness, etc. As a result we are unable to have a merry heart, and we walk around with a broken spirit that dries up the bones.

What is the remedy? King Solomon says, “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones” (Proverbs 3:8 NIV). We cannot deny the fact: Our spiritual well-being is connected to our physical health. In order to have a merry heart we need to learn how to stay healthy.
