I don't think negative feedback affects us positively.
In physiology, negative feedback negates activating responses to bring body mechanisms back to normal.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "physiology negative feedback" to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.
