B. (Prov.4:23) The brain is the control center of the body. From it millions of nerve fibers course out to every organ in the body. Chemicals released from these nerve fibers control or influence every chemical reaction in every organ of the body. Since our health is dependent on the proper balance of all of these chemical reactions, it is no wonder that emotional upset in our brains can disrupt chemical reactions in a far-removed organ & cause disease. C. Heeding biblical admonition about stress can keep us healthy (Mt.6:25-33; Php.4:6).
