The immune system and stress

Chronic stress literally suppresses immune function, making your body vulnerable to both infection and autoimmune disease, which is why practices that calm the nervous system—meditation, connection, rest—are not luxuries but essential medicine. Your body's ability to protect itself depends on feeling safe.
