How Stress Influences Disease

Welcome to this week’s Brain Based Wellness News.

In today’s news we will look at the link between stress and the common cold.

A research team found that chronic psychological stress is linked to the body losing its ability to regulate the inflammatory response, thus encouraging the development and advancement of disease.

People suffering from psychological stress are more susceptible to developing common colds because their immune system loses its ability to regulate inflammation.

When under stress, cells of the immune system are unable to respond to hormonal control, and consequently, produce levels of inflammation that promote disease.

Inflammation as a result of chronic stress also plays a role in many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, asthma and autoimmune disorders.

Managing your stress is critical, and chiropractic care is a great first step to help you better manage your stress.

Get regular chiropractic checkups for the whole family, and make sure your spine and your brain are working the best they can.

Your health will be better because of it.

And that’s this week’s Brain-Based Wellness News.
