Regress mechanics and how we can resist it A bad mood, panic, fear – are the mechanisms, which force our mind to overthink and spend a lot of energy. This energy could help our immunity, but it won’t. And when our body doesn’t have enough energy, it can’t resist diseases effectively. That’s why it is very important to keep yourself in the good mood and be positive, among other things . A good mood, laughing, love, rest, good and healthy food give us vital energy.

“Affective immunology: where emotions and the immune response converge” “Affect and emotion are defined as “an essential part of the process of an organism's interaction with stimuli.” Similar to affect, the immune response is the “tool” the body uses to interact with the external environment. Thanks to the emotional and immunological response, we learn to distinguish between what we like and what we do not like, to counteract a broad range of challenges, and to adjust to the environment we are living in”.
