Immunity Vs Stress

Health

By Lydiaa AlmeidaPublished 5 years ago 3 min read

Today I am going to write about health and the theme is stress.

Stress is always present in our daily lives, whether at work, home routines etc. But if we don’t know how to manage stress it can cause serious damage to our health including on our immune system.

The immune system is the system that protects our body from disease. When it is working correctly, it detects attacks caused by viruses, parasites and other agents on the body.

Immunodeficiency, or low immunity, occurs when the activity of the immune system is lower than normal, which causes recurrent infections that can put the our life at risk.

Conversely, autoimmunity is the result of a hyperactive immune system that can

cause, for example, type 1 diabetes.

But what factors can change our immunity?

Food and emotional imbalances;

Anxiety;

Vitamin deficiencies;

Hereditary predisposition;

Stress

So, what to do to prevent changes to our immunity?

Eat a balanced diet;

Have a healthy routine of hygiene habits;

Sleep between 7 to 8 hours a night;

Control episodes of stress.

Back to the title of this article, how does stress interfere with immunity?

Stress increases the body’s production of cortisol, however, when

sporadic stress episodes, as soon as the adrenaline goes, hormone levels return to

normal and the whole physiological process as well.

However, when there are persistent situations that generate stress the gland

cortisol producer loses sensitivity and cortisol levels start to fall confusing our organism saying that it cannot rest since it does not have enough “fuel” ( cortisol) to combat emergency situations.

This clinical picture leads to very serious pathologies and one of them is low immunity.

It is very important to be alert to the signs that our body shows.

Because I wrote about stress, I would like to present you the opportunity to take a course that will help you and also everyone who lives with you deal with stress, because stress is the number one cause of physical and mental illness around the world. Find out how it impacts the human body and learn management strategies and relaxation skills through studying this Certificate in Dealing With Stress.

The course develops your ability to deal with stress or help others to do the same at work, at home, and across the whole life spectrum. Whatever your purpose to get this course; there are benefits to be had for both yourself and others. Through the course, you will learn how to relax, how to manage stress: find a way out of life’s problems, discover the links between physical and mental health problems and short or long-term stress, apply your knowledge to help others, etc.

You will also learn physical problems related to stress, how to achieve easy living, dealing with drugs, developing self, relaxation, diet and much more.

To find the links related to the post:courses and supplements just watch the video.

However,being in constant learning is important for our brain, studies show that people who keep their brain active are less likely to develop diseases such as : dementia or other diseases that appear due to lack of brain activity.

In this case, take a course on something you like such as interior design, make up, accounting etc, are important because it helps you learn things and remember them so you can use what you learned in the future.Take a course increase your knowledge or learn something new is important to your life because it will help you grow as a person and give you an appreciation for the world around you. It will give you cultural competency and broaden your mind.

For this reason I would like to present "International Open Academy", you will be able to choose from the courses they offer.

Finally,nowadays it is very difficult to keep enough nutrients essential for our health, because stress, lack of time to eat a healthy meal are some of the factors that prevent us from having a nourished and healthy body. For this reason I would like to present the supplements from Future You Cambridge, they create supplements as they should be. Supplements that work. Supplements that help you the way you'd expect. Supplements sold by friendly, knowledgeable people who care about your wellbeing. The formulations of their products ensure optimized absorption so your body can get exactly the right amount of exactly what matters.

All the links will be in the video description.
