How To Boost Your Immunity
What You Need to Know About The Fight/Flight Response and Your Immunity
When there is panic and fear as there is now, our fight/flight response kicks in. It is our natural way of dealing with danger. 3 powerful stress hormones are released into your bloodstream, these are:
Adrenaline
Cortisol
Aldosterone
They affect you dramatically, so that you can deal with any danger immediately. Adrenaline gives your muscles the boost you need to escape, Cortisol prepares you for action and physical damage limitation and Aldosterone helps you make best use of the minerals in your body.
