Placebo Effects
The placebo effect is a well-known psychological phenomenon. A placebo is fake medicine. Patients who are treated with a placebo/sometimes feel cured/because they believe/it is “real” medicine. This phenomenon shows/that the mind and body are closely connected. The placebo effect has been confirmed/in medical science/as well as in psychology.
In one experiment,/a researcher divided people into two groups/and asked them/to drink the same vanilla milkshakes. At the time,/the researcher explained to one group/that the milkshakes/had an extremely high number of calories. To the other group,/the researcher said/that the milkshakes were healthy. As a result of this experiment,/it was found/that the former group felt less hungry/than the latter group did. The researcher concluded/that people’s beliefs led to a change/in the reactions of their bodies.
The placebo effect may happen to anybody,/especially to those who tend to take things seriously. It shows the power of the mind/over the body.
