Answer:

c) all six dimensions of her health

Explanation:

Bad emotional health can have many impacts on our well-being.

It weakens our <em>immune system, making it more prone to diseases.</em>

Every emotion we feel affects our brain. <em>It doesn't have any emotional center, yet different emotions involve different structures.</em>

Not many people understand how important the emotional state is for our health.

Our heartbeats and breathing is controlled by our brain. When we’re overloading our brain with negativity (<em>bad biochemicals</em>) it destroys our health.

When our body is filled with negative emotions such as sadness, stress and tension, it has a very harmful effect on our brain, making our breaths shallow.

Because negative emotions increase the acid in our blood, they make our blood thicker and this less unhealthy blood goes to every single part of our body.

Harry, the swimmer with the fastest time on the Springfield College swim team, routinely hyperventilates before a meet, as he sa
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, Harry seem to have forgotten that It's the CO2 (carbondioxide) level not the O2 (oxygen)level that gives rise to the urge to breathe. That is to say that once the CO2 level in the blood is high, the brain will trigger a breathing response, that will cause the person(Harry) to try to gasp for air. Also, Harry is jeopardizing his time and life because Hyperventilation itself reduces the CO2 concentration of the blood to below normal level, this makes the bloods pH value to raise, this in turn causes the constriction of the blood vessels that supply the brain, and prevents the transportation of certain electrolytes necessary for the function of the nervous system.
