To overcome stress, exercise is one way. Another way is to relax and ensure tranquility of mind. Relaxation, especially Transcendental Meditation (TM) gives you the capacity to root out the disease. It gives us the strength to get over Angina, Asthma, diabetes and the like. Or you need not go for meditation. Sit in front of your T.V. watch comedies and have a hearty laugh. That will also strengthen your Immune System. Laugh and be off quickly from diseases. Laughter accelerates the process of recovery, say the researchers.
The effect of moods on the Immune System is considerably high. People who are easily given to angry outbursts, people who feel self-important, are subjected to frequent colds and fevers. People who are always in tension too suffer similarly. People who always rejoice, people who positively react and people who take things lightly will never in life sneeze or cough. But, people with depression will easily yield to heart diseases. Those who suppress their emotions and externally look tranquil are prone to cancer.
Their immune system was very weak while in the later stage, it was found to be strong. It only means that the stress of the examination will tell upon the immune system. In the case of students who take the examinations very seriously, there will not be any negative stress and they remain healthy even during the examinations. Sensitive people-those who easily submit themselves to stress-will forever be suffering from cold or fever. All of us must have seen several such unfortunate people.
While some people always suffer from fever or cold, others will be free for ever from these afflictions and remain in good health. What is the reason? We must say that negative stress is the reason. Those that are subjected to mental stress will easily become a prey to various diseases. To put it in different words, stress weakens the Immune System in us. That student’s get fever during the times of examinations is a standing example. If the blood of some students just before examinations is compared with their blood after their vacation, it will be found that in the former stage,
W.B.C called Leucocytes are the most powerful weapon of our Immune System. These cells work in various ways to attack and destroy the enemies that enter into our body – be they viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. While some WBC surround and try to destroy the enemy, some others produce special type of antibodies and with them attack the enemy. You have already read about this in detail in the first chapter. Leucocytes enter the blood circulatory system, reach various parts of the body, flow into the body cells through the minutest blood vessels and remain on guard to attack and destroy the enemy germs. When it is not necessary, they remain in the Lymphatic vessels connecting to Lymph Nodes. When the nodes at the neck, armpits or groins are infected, they get inflamed and appear as swellings.
Contagious diseases like cold and Flu are caused by the viruses present in the air. These are the contagious diseases that we easily get from others. (Usually they attack us in winter). The reason is; whether it is office or home, we shut all the doors and windows in that season and remain in-door. We all then breathe in what we have breathed out, and help the spread of viruses. In such cold winter days, if we keep all the windows open and let the air freely, cold will not attack us so easily.
