Stress plays a significant role in health. It can dampen the immune system, meaning the body is at risk for illnesses. Since stress also contributes to inflammation in the body, the immune system reacts to the inflammation by sending out immune compounds to fight off the inflamed cells. These immune compounds leave the body at risk for illness when they damage the cells. The good news is that everyone has a coping mechanism for coping with stress and in this episode we will share that with you.
