FAQ

Is being cold bad for your immune system?

Cold weather can cause a decline in your immune system. Your body makes less white blood cell to fight infection. However, being cold also makes you feel better because your body releases endorphins into your brain which reduce pain.

How can you live your best life every day?

Finding out what makes your heart happy is the first step to living a fulfilled life. Once you've identified what makes your happy, you can start to work backwards. You can also inquire about the lives of others.

You can also check out books like "How to Live Your Best Life" from Dr. Wayne Dyer. He talks about finding happiness in all areas of your life and finding fulfillment.

Exercise: Is it good or bad for immunity?

Your immune system is strengthened by exercise. Your body creates white blood cells, which are immune-boosting and fight infection. Your body also gets rid of toxins. Exercise can help you avoid heart disease and other illnesses like cancer. It can also lower stress levels.

But too much exercise can damage your immune system. Your muscles can become sore if you exercise too much. This causes inflammation and swelling. The body will then produce more antibodies to fight infection. This can lead to allergic reactions and other autoimmune disorders.

So, don't overdo it!
