Mood and immune defenses

“Good mood and positive emotions positively affect the immune system, on the contrary, stress and depression can undermine it.”

Mood is an emotional state that influences our psychophysical well-being.

Difficult, you think, to be in a good mood in this moment of great uncertainty, fear and stress.
COVID-19 has turned our life upside down, that life that seemed so stressful and tiring now appears to us as something beautiful that we didn’t know how to appreciate.
Our psychophysical well-being must now be our priority to overcome this pandemic too.
Our immune system is highly influenced by Stress as confirmed by the Mayo Clinic, a US medical organization devoted to scientific research.
When we are sad and depressed we have a more cynical view of our life, variations in our sleep and appetite habits take place, we have little energy, we are not motivated and we no longer want to react and face obstacles.
When under stress our body increases the production of cortisol, a hormone that affects our health.

How to fight bad mood?

Laughing!
I know many will think that it is really difficult right now to find the desire to smile.
An old popular saying says that “Smiling helps to live better” and it is true because when we laugh we increase the oxygenation of the blood thus nourishing our cells better.
We decrease the values of cortisol, a hormone that also affects body weight, while we increase the production of serotonin, we release endorphins substances that increase good mood, optimism and self-esteem.

Good mood and antibody production

To prevent and combat Coranavirus, we need our antibodies to strengthen. Laughing allows our body to produce immunoglobulins which are the antibodies that first fight infections, but also NK (Natural Killer) cells that contribute to the increase of defensive mechanisms.
A positive attitude and a healthy laugh increase the production of leukocytes that protect us from infections and external attacks.
Often it is not only external events that influence our mood but the way we approach to live the situations that life gives us.
We try, even in this particular historical moment, to find positive aspects, to smile and make those around us smile.
The days are beautiful and even if we can’t go out, we can open a window, stay on the balcony and enjoy the sun. In fact, the Sun is a real cure for good mood, for the immune system and for our heart.
