How stress and anxiety can weaken your immune system

Almost every conversation I have listened to includes fear, or information on the Coronavirus.  Whilst it is a highly contagious virus, it is much more likely to affect people with a low immune system.  Stress and anxiety can deplete your bodies immune system, to a point where you will almost be inviting it in.  So what can you do to combat the stress and fear of catching it.

Steps to follow

1. Every day when you wake tell yourself that you are healthy and staying healthy.  Now whilst this does not put up a screen, our unconscious mind will work to keep your body healthy.
2. Take precautions.  Wash your hands regularly.
3. Don't hold on to banisters or railings when you are out.  If you need to sanitise before and after.
4. Use sanitiser on trolleys.  
5. Sanitise your hands after handling money.
6. If you are really concerned, then perhaps wear a cotton glove on your dominent hand when you are out, and cover this with a disposable rubber glove.  Wash hands regularly.
7. If you see someone sneeze, stay away from them, 6 feet away is the recommended distance I believe.
8. Remember that what you say to yourself turns into your wishes.  So STAY POSITIVE.
9. ABOVE ALL REMEMBER, that the death rate from Coronavirus is less than that of many other things.  
10. If you are elderly or infirm perhaps order your shopping online.  

People in China are recovering from the virus and being discharged from hospital.  The virus may have run its course just like any other virus.  Take precautions with your habits, but above all get a positive mindset to strenghten your immunity.

Stay healthy.
