Show Your Immune System Some Love This Valentine’s Day
Falling in love, cuddling, sex—all of these things can lead to enhanced immune functions.
One thing about the immune system is its response to emotion. The mind-body connection is very responsive to good feelings, especially love. And the somatic implications of love are large for your immune system. It is not only one of the biggest organ systems of the human body, but it is also responsible for critical functions like protection from infection, responses to inflammation and reproductive health.
