More From NEUROFIT
Have you noticed that you’re getting sick more often than usual? The cause might be a dysregulated nervous system. Our nervous system is responsible for regulating all the major functions of the body, including the immune system. So when our nervous system is out of balance, it can lead to frequent illness and a host of other issues.
Nervous system dysregulation happens when the body's stress response is constantly activated, even in the absence of a real threat. This prolonged stress can build up in the body and eventually leads to suppression of the immune system, making you more vulnerable to infections and illnesses.
Chronic stress builds up in the nervous system, leading to mental and physical health challenges.
Chronic fatigue
Frequent xnxiety and depression
Frequent infections
Chronic stress
Unresolved trauma
Poor sleep quality
Inflammatory diet
Lack of exercise
When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol and adrenaline. While these hormones are helpful in acute stress situations, chronic stress can deplete the body’s resources and weaken the immune system. This leaves you more susceptible to getting sick often.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, chronic stress can lead to a wide range of health issues, including a weakened immune system.
Additionally, Harvard Health notes that prolonged stress can lead to inflammation and a decrease in the body’s ability to fight off infections.
