This month we're looking at the effects of stress on our immune
systems. Research in the field of psychoneuroimmunology has looked at the
"mind-body" connection and a growing body of evidence shows that stress
can lower immunity and lead to illness. Even a few days of stress can lead to
decreased ability to fight off infections like the common cold. Chronic stress,
over days and months, has been associated with increased levels of the stress
hormone cortisol which, over the long term, contributes to everything from
heart disease to diabetes. The good news is that research has also shown that
decreasing our stress levels can boost our immune systems. Studies in which
participants engaged in exercise or mindfulness meditation techniques showed
increased levels of cells that fight off infection. Even something as simple as
increasing time with family or friends have been shown to strengthen our
immune systems. Actively trying to "not sweat the small stuff" may
make you healthier, so give it a try!
