In today’s unpredictable environment of world-wide pandemics, health concerns and economic uncertainty, it is easy to succumb to the negative effects of stress on the body.
Stress and Illness: Understanding the Connection
When we get sick, the fever, stuffy nose, phlegm build-up and swollen lymph nodes are not the result of the infection itself, but rather they are the result of the immune system fighting the infection. Our immune system responds to infection with a flux of white blood cells to the infected area, and it is their activity that causes the symptoms.
Importance of Good Nutrition
Nutritional stress includes what we eat and what we don’t eat. Today, we eat less fresh, unadulterated food and consume more processed, preserved foods than ever before.
