Reduce your worry and boost your immunity
There is evidence that if you are frequently worried you can weaken the immune system dramatically.
When we get stressed, our immune system’s capacity to fight off antigens is reduced. That is why we are more susceptible to infections and disease.
The stress hormone corticosteroid can suppress the effectiveness of our body’s immunity.
If your mind is constantly feeling under stress, it keeps releasing cortisol. A high level of cortisol harms your physical and mental health.
It’s vital for your well being to find ways to keep your stress under control.
First, you must figure out how to reduce your worry and anxiety.
Find stress management techniques to keep your immune system healthy and functioning the ways it’s meant to.
