The Best Way to Boost Your Immune System
When What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Weaker: The Complexities of Surviving Disease Surviving a disease can leave you feeling stronger and more resilient, but sometimes the opposite can be true. Your body is like a large country with a sizable army to defend it against invaders. When it senses an attack, it releases a flood of cytokines to activate immune cells and mobilize defenses. This process is similar to a machinery of war and uses up a lot of energy and resources. Your body switches into a war economy, with your immune system demanding huge amounts of energy and amino acids to build its weapons. When you are sick, your body slows down digestion to save energy and begins breaking down your muscles to access the necessary amino acids. This can be too draining for those who are old, young, weak, or suffer from chronic illness. Your immune system is not just dangerous to your enemies; it can also cause collateral damage to your body, leading to holes and wounds in your organs. The body then rushes to repair the damage, but the resulting scars can cause a decrease in the functionality of your organs. However, there are ways to train your immune system to avoid this damage.

8 Signs She Likes You (Not Just Being Friendly)
8 Signs She Likes You (Not Just Being Friendly) It can be quite awkward when talking to a crush and you're completely unsure of their feelings toward you. Worse yet, you may have been misunderstanding the signals and end up hearing those dreaded words "I only see you as a friend," or "I like you, but not like that." Gah! Sometimes, you might even blame yourself! The thing is, some people are just more friendly and open by nature. They're always smiling, saying nice things, and greeting people with warm hugs. And sometimes, gestures like these lead people to believe that the person is interested in them. Actually, many guys have trouble recognizing a 'woman's signals of interest' and differentiating between whether she's flirting or just being pleasant. This lack of clarity can certainly drive a man crazy and, in some cases, might cause broken friendships.
