This is our last installment of our top 5 ways to boost immunity. Coincidentally they have a lot in common this time of year: \u00a0stress and spend time with loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>Stress has many deleterious effects on the human body. A New England Journal of Medicine article studied <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/acupuncture-stress-bellingham\/\">the effects of stress<\/a> on the immune system.\u00a0 People who were under greater stress were 3x more likely to develop a cold after direct exposure to the rhinovirus &#8211; and they say good jobs are hard to find! It makes sense when you think about it, most of us get sick after a stressful event. During the stress I think the adrenal system can shore up any weaknesses. As the stressor leaves, we are more susceptible to opportunistic infections.<\/p>\n<p>Spend time with loved ones. I know it&#8217;s almost like\u00a0a national anthem, oh I do poorly over the holidays or oh god we&#8217;re meeting as a family. Eeegads. Well get off of the misery train, you don&#8217;t have to ride it if you don&#8217;t want. Enjoy the people around you for what they are.\u00a0 If you have differences with them you can rest assure they have them with you. So relax.\u00a0 Be merry.\u00a0 And get over it. Happy holidays and see you all in 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peole who were under greater stress were 3x more likely to develop a cold after direct exposure to the rhinovirus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[8,5,9,12],"class_list":["post-47","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-immune-system","tag-bellingham","tag-immune","tag-immunity","tag-stress"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bellinghamacupuncturecenter.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
