🤣🤣🤣Humor and Happiness 😂😂😂
The idea that humor and health may be related is not a new idea. In fact, it is an idea that has long enjoyed widespread support, both from the lay public and among professionals in the fields of psychology and medicine (Lefcourt & Martin 1986). It seems surprising that a relationship so widely held by society has not been investigated by more than a handful of researchers. Cousins (1979) in an autobiographical account, describes the positive effect that humor had on his recovery from an extremely painful disease. He reported a decrease in pain perception and a drop in his sedimentation rate following exposure to humor. Several investigators have shown that mirthful laughter is accompanied by a widespread variety of psychobiological changes. These changes include respiratory changes, facial muscle contractions, circulatory changes, sympathetic activation (Lefcourt & Martin 1986; Fry 1980), and an increase in spontaneous lymphocyte blastogenesis and natural killer cell activity (Lefcourt & Thomas 1998). Dillon et al (1985) used a humorous videotape to induce humor, compared to a didactic videotape and found increases in salivary IgA concentration in subjects viewing the humorous videotape. Dillon and Totten (1989) expanded on Dillon's original work with a study involving breastfeeding mothers. The study found a positive correlation between ratings on the cognitive Humor Scale and a decreased incidence of respiratory infections in both mothers and their breastfed babies.

Why chiropractic care is good for your immune system

We may not be able to completely prevent illness, but there are certainly ways you may lessen the severity or duration of your time under the weather or in pain. And that’s something anyone can be happy with, right?

Here is how regular chiropractic adjustments can help, plus what else you can do to naturally boost your immune system:
Spinal adjustments have been shown to boost immune function because they serve to correct the spinal misalignments that cause neural dysfunction. Neural dysfunction stresses a body out, which may lead to a weakened immune system and lowered response to a foreign body, such as a cold virus. Our immune system is the body’s line of defense to fight viral and bacterial infections. The immune system relies on many factors in order to maintain optimal health including nutrition, exercise, posture, being well rested, and having a healthy spine. Our nervous system runs through the spine and it works with the immune system in order for the body to adapt to various conditions and heal appropriately when required. Spinal misalignments can cause neural dysfunctions and these are stressful to the body which leads to a weak immune response.

Organs that have a strong relationship with the immune system, such as lymph nodes and spleen, communicate with your brain and nerves, and if your nervous system isn’t functioning at optimal level, a communication breakdown can occur. You can imagine what happens next Getting a chiropractic adjustment is a great place to start so you can get any spinal misalignment you may have corrected. Even one adjustment can bring about and immune boost.

Getting a chiropractic checkup will determine if you have spine misalignments so you can get them corrected. Studies have proven that an adjustment causes an immediate immune boost. In fact, disease-fighting white blood cells increase significantly within minutes of a chiropractic adjustment.
A chiropractic adjustment isn’t the only way to increase your immune function. The following methods should be used in conjunction with regular chiropractic care.

First, get more sleep! We are a nation of sleep-deprived individuals, but you don’t have to be one of them. Sleep helps your body to rest and recharge, and keeps your system firing and protecting in the way it should. Next, arm yourself with vitamin D from the sun plus vitamin C from eating fresh produce that contains it. Regular exercise is also important when it comes to immune health because it serves to improve blood circulation, which in turn kick starts the release of immune system substances into your body.

Through listening to your body, providing it with what it needs, and going to regular adjustments, you may find yourself fighting immune system illnesses better than before!

In this time of heightened awareness of the growing spread of Covid19 from Asia to the US, it’s important to remember healthier individuals are less likely to get sick. For centuries the chiropractic and other homeopathic professions propagated the ancient philosopher’s wisdom of keeping society healthy will aide in the fight against spread of disease. History has shown us that the simple task of washing hands after surgery lowered post surgical infection rates. This lead to more sterile methods of wearing gloves. The professions, of chiropractic, acupuncture, and psychology, to name a few, have all maintained the philosophy, a healthier body has an increased immunity against disease. Treatments for spinal health, eating well, exercising, meditation and nutritional supplements are some ways to increase body immunity. Fear and panic do nothing to benefit the fight to be healthy.
