I was sitting and watching my documentary about survival in the wild. Our survival expert was explaining how to find food under difficult conditions, while at the same time he was digging in elephant dung. What is it, sir? Elephants digest half of the food they eat, and there may be a lot of undigested fruit in their droppings (still scratching). After washing a few fruit seeds that he took out of the elephant dung, he broke them and ate them. It's the classic documentary you know, until our expert makes the following sentence: "It is a very beneficial food, unless you vomit as a result of psychological nausea!" and the light bulb goes off!
There are many reasons for vomiting, many of them. I will try to express the psychological ones here. First, let's go back to ancient times. Evolutionists say that vomiting is a reflex that allows harmful foods to be expelled from the body quickly, and that the feeling of disgust is a behavior developed against these harmful foods. I don't know if they are right or wrong, but what I do know is that the Medulla Oblongata in the brain plays a big role in this.
Vomiting,the 'vomiting center' located at the back of the 'medulla oblongata' section of the brain. Edited by '. This center receives signals from the emotional, visual and auditory regions of the brain, inner ear and digestive system and responds to them in the form of vomiting/nausea.
It will be easier to explain with examples. The vomiting center can be activated as a result of the emotional stimulation of the brain:
Our daughter, who broke up with her boyfriend, immediately vomits when he puts a bite of food in her mouth.
Our young person taking the exam feels nauseous due to stress (emotional stimulation).
Visual/Olfactory stimuli:
Seeing a human corpse.
Seeing and smelling spoiled food/meat.
Audible stimuli:
Flying butterflies in the stomach in the face of compliments
Digestive problems in the face of threats.
Nausea due to inner ear warnings is related to balance. For example, dizziness and nausea when spinning a lot. Digestive system warnings generally warn the medulla oblongata about poisonous foods.
I tried to give the examples separately as much as I could, but most of the time, they all come together and make us nauseous. When we see a human corpse, it means that we have smelled, seen and been emotionally stimulated. This situation, which we can often accept as natural, can sometimes be challenging. For example: while preparing for exams, when we are separated from our lover, when we need to drink our urine, eat mice, and extract seeds from elephant dung to survive. I think it will be enough to remind those who think I am exaggerating about the people dying of hunger in Syria and Yemen. Most of them tried the things I listed above before they died. May God not put anyone in such difficult situations.
Aside from these difficult situations, there are people who are disgusted by everything and immediately feel nauseous and vomit. How can these friends of ours be so sensitive?
I don't know whether to call the medulla oblongata working hard or making it work. My observations whisper to me that he is overworked. Unfortunately, friends who think that being a refined lady and gentleman requires a lot of disgust seem to be developing their medulla oblongata unintentionally. I can predict that young people who frequently use the expressions "I can't eat this food, ugh, this dress is disgusting, this man's appearance is disgusting..." will experience a lot of stomach problems due to stress (breakup, exam, etc.).
Solution: We will discipline our medulla oblongata. Watching people eat a food we don't like and observing that they are very healthy (they are very happy while eating it) deals a serious blow to disgust. After that, we need to make small eating experiments and bring this feeling to a more controllable level. I think the most important thing is not to use expressions such as disgusting, disgusting, disgusting... when expressing our feelings, regardless of the subject (food, clothing, behavior, color, etc.). Instead taste Say I don't like the taste, I don't like the color, it's too dark, the taste is too sour. I think such expressions will help us express psychological stress by speaking instead of stomach ache/nausea and help us have a healthier body.
