Summary
Human beings control their bodies with their minds, however the minds can be tricked. An example is when we drink too much alcohol it slows down the functions of our brain cells. Experiments were conducted in which a group of people were given drinks, which they were told are laced with vodka. In actuality, there was no alcohol in the drinks. Yet, the majority of them displayed the symptoms of drunkenness shortly after imbibing, because their minds have been conditioned to expect that reaction.
