Hello Sports Fans!
I want to drop in and talk about one of my favorite $10 dollar words that I feel more people need to become more informed about ... especially those in medicine lol! Here is a link to a very nice read breaking down the information that we have known for ... hold on to your hats TWENTY YEARS! In a nutshell psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the idea that stress will kill you. To wet your appetite here is a small clip from the article: "For more than a decade, researchers have known that behavioral and psychological events can influence the immune system. But now new research shows that the immune system sends signals to the brain "that potently alter neural activity and thereby alter everything that flows from neural activity, mainly behavior, thought and mood," said Maier, professor of psychology at the University of Colorado. "In a real, true sense, stress makes you physically sick," explained Maier. "In addition, many of the changes over time in mood and cognition from day to day are driven by events in the immune system of which we are unaware." The impact of psychoneuroimmunology, along with epigenetics and neuroplasticity are some of the main reasons that we MUST learn to 'think' differently about ourselves and our world around us!
