Best Answer

The body weakens your immunity because stress induces the flight or fight mode which releases cortisol which tells the body to shut down the less important functions such as digestion and immunity. This can help in short term stress. However, if the stress is chronic and prolonged, it will weaken your immune system gradually and so you will have much lower resistance to illness.

Stress, anxiety, and panic weakens the immune system’s ability to respond to invaders, leaving us more vulnerable to infections. The cells of the immune system (and other body systems) are unable to respond normally and produce levels of inflammation which increase the risk of further health issues.

An immune system protects the body against various diseases and daily threats like viruses, bacteria, pathogens, microbes, and parasites. This natural defense of our body to fight infections and germs is Immunity.

Daivam Wellness understands that every individual’s body is different, and so is their requirement and response. Our program is tailor-made by our functional medicine experts keeping in mind the different requirements of each individual, and using a person-centric approach through a combination of various assessments, consultations, and therapies in order for you to experience a balanced immunity, and thus restoring your good health.
