Human body when is calm, happy and while relaxing will produce natural antibodies which means naturally, we can boost our immune system.  It also means that if our mental status is not agitated it can achieve good health. If we are calm, happy and anxiety free our system promotes growth of natural antibodies or autoantibodies.

Natural antibodies are present in all of us by birth even before our system is immunized and are first line of body’s defense mechanism. Adaptive antibodies are the ones that are produced in our body after vaccination. These natural antibodies decrease with age. Therefore, we take supplements and practice good diet.

Working on being happy promotes our health!

Our body starts giving up and invite illness when we are not mentally happy and feel stressed. This is also when body’s natural antibodies level goes down. We  can promote antibodies production by making changes in our lifestyle.

It keeps us curious, we learn new things, explore new stuffs in life – such active lifestyle boosts immune system.
2. Consume plant food: The natural antioxidants, Vitamin C, fibers that are present in plants reduces cell inflammation. Chronic inflammation results in heart conditions, causes dementia, Alzheimer’s, and certain cancer. Plant food is also soothing for mind and promotes our gut health. Our digestive system health is important for improving immunity.
3. Reduce time on social media: We get all news on our fingertips and are addicted to watching news, serials, family drama, gossips etc. Sometimes the negative news that run for days could harm mental status. Instead, listen to music that brings happiness and calms the system.

Good sleep helps to boost immune system which means more natural antibodies will develop in the system. Lack of sleep causes physical and mental illness as the body does not get rest.

It is because, happiness fuels the immune system, it produces antibodies that are always ready take care of foreign invaders of body. Unhappiness means, you are inviting illness with open arms. Find your happiness sources  like spending time with family, friends, reading, talking etc.
