How come tears come out of our eyes when we cry?
Tears flow from our eyes when we cry because they contain chemicals
and hormones produced by our bodies.
When we become upset, our brains and bodies overreact and work
overtime by producing chemicals and hormones.
Crying helps eliminate these extra chemicals that we don't need.
The chemicals and hormones disappear from our body through the form of
tears. As our tears flow, they sooth our sadness or distress by
withdrawing these chemical agents.
That is why many people feel calmer or more refreshed after
crying--because the tears get rid of these hormones that are produced
when we are sad, happy, or distressed.
