Did you say, “you feel sick today”

Did you say, "you feel sick today"!

Do you know Why?

You get a cut and all sorts of bacteria and viruses enter your body through the break in the skin. Often the skin heals itself and seals the puncture. Each day you inhale thousands of germs (bacteria and viruses) that are floating in the air. And you do not keep falling sick every day. Why?

Coz, your immune system responds and eliminates the invaders.

But in rare cases, the immune system misses something. So you will get inflammation and pus as side-effects as the cut gets infected. The mosquito bite will get you a red, itchy bump. Occasionally a germ gets past the immune system and you catch a cold, get the flu or still worse.

Deficiency of vitamin or mineral – like lack of Vitamin D and you have rickety bones: Lack of Vitamin C and you have swollen and bleeding gums? Iron deficiency and you are declared anemic? So you know to what extent the vitamins and minerals strengthen your immune system! Or weaken it!

What is this marvel Inside your body that gives you amazing protection mechanism? This phenomenon - called the immune system. It is designed to defend you against millions of bacteria, microbes, viruses, toxins and parasites that would love to invade your body.

Get knowledgeable about your body's immune system. It is complex, intricate and interesting. Your immune system works round the clock in thousands of different ways, but it does its work largely unnoticed. One thing that causes us to really notice our immune system is when it fails for some reason. We also notice it when it does something that has a side effect we can see or feel.

Does Humour enhance your Immune System?

The funny thing about humor is that it does a lot more than make people laugh.

Humour and Laughter strengthen immune system.

In Patch Adam's words, "Choose humour in the public place, with a smile on the face, or a twinkle in the eyes, and a willingness to greet each person!"

In the process, you would have strengthened the immune system – not only yours but also the other person's.

I totally agree! I have heard of severe health cases, such as late stage cancer, which the doctor has already pronounced as impossible to cure. What the patients did was just relaxed, and spent they remaining life watching funny movies and just laughing. Miraculously, they were healed!

Conversely, in one case, a female died of AIDs, not because it was incurable, as it was still in its very early stages where it can still be cured. She died because she could not accept it, and because she was too depressed because of it, despite the fact that there was still a cure.

The state of ones mind truly has a tremendous effect on ones health, so laughing really helps.
