Some people seem to have more protection from diseases than
others. Their immune systems appear to be more efficient. In addition to
staying fit, eating right, and managing stress, our immune
system responds to our thoughts, emotions and actions. Some strategies
will help our immune system function better. These are the strategies :
·
Develop positive expectations as it concerns
your health – Mental and emotional expectations
can influence medical outcomes. The effectiveness of any medical treatment depends
in part on how useful you expect it to be.
A “Placebo” is a drug or treatment that provides no medical benefit except
for the patient’s belief that it will help. The placebo effect
proves that expectations affect health. 35% of the patients who receive placebos drug
reported that they had relief from their medical problem, even though they
received no actual medications.
Changing your expectations from negative to
positive may give your immune system a boost. Stop all negative self –talk.
Make positive statements that promote your health. Write your illness a letter. Tell it that you
don’t need it anymore and that your immune system is now ready to finish it
off. Send yourself a steady stream of phrases or sentences that sends strong, positive statements to you about yourself
such as “ I am a capable person”,
or “My joints are strong and flexible”.
·
Visualize health and healing. Add mental
pictures that support your positive affirmations. Become a cheerleader for your
immune system. Talk to it and encourage it to be strong and keep fighting.
·
Open yourself to humor, friendship, and love – Positive
emotions strengthen the immune system. Almost anything that makes you feel good
about yourself helps you stay healthy. Learn to laugh more. A little humor
makes life richer and healthier. Laughter increases creativity, reduces pain,
and speeds up healing.
·
Seek out friends . Friendships are vital to good
health. Close social ties help you recover more quickly from illness and reduce
your risk of developing diseases.
·
Volunteer to help others. People who volunteer to help others, live longer and
enjoy life more than those who do not. By helping others, we help others.
·
Plant a plant or buy a pet. Plants and pets can
be highly therapeutic. When you stroke an animal, blood pressure goes down and
your heart rate slows. Animals and plants help us feel needed.
·
Appeal to the spirit. If you believe in God, ask
for help and support in your pursuit of good health. Faith, prayer, and
spiritual beliefs can play an important role in recovering from illness and /or staying healthy. Your sense of
spiritual wellness can help you overcome personal trials and things you cannot
change.
