How Does Anxiety Impact Your Immune System?

Did you know that your mental health can directly influence your physical health? 🧠❤️ Chronic anxiety doesn’t just affect your mind—it can weaken your immune system, leaving you more vulnerable to illnesses.

When we experience anxiety, our bodies release stress hormones like cortisol, which, in high levels over time, can suppress immune function. This can lead to increased inflammation, slower healing, and a higher risk of infections.

But don’t worry—understanding the connection between anxiety and immunity is the first step to improving both your mental and physical health.
