What Is Stress and How Does It Affect Your Immune System?

Stress is primarily driven by unmanaged emotions, such as frustration, anxiety, and overwhelm. Emotions play a crucial role in impacting physiology, including the hormonal system, nervous system, and immune system. Emotions trigger significant changes in blood pressure, hormones, and overall energy levels. The inability to manage emotions leads to fatigue and inhibits brain function. Activating the relaxation response through breath work and breathing can help in maximizing brain function by increasing synchronization, not just relaxation. Heart-brain coherence is essential, and it is not solely about reducing heart rate but also about achieving synchronization at any heart rate for optimal benefits.
