The Argument

Lying can be bad for your health because it can cause stress and anxiety. When you lie, your body produces the hormone cortisol, which is associated with stress. Over time, high levels of cortisol can have negative effects on your body, such as increased blood pressure and a weakened immune system. Additionally, lying can damage your relationships and create feelings of guilt and shame, which can also take a toll on your mental and emotional health. Ultimately, honesty is generally considered to be the best policy because it can help to reduce stress and promote healthy, positive relationships.
