The Formula for Optimal Health
How feelings affect our immune system
Psychoneuroimmunology: This is the science that is crucial for our health and well-being. In a sound and very vivid manner, Christina Berndt shows how feelings and beliefs affect our immune system and, conversely, how our immune systems influence our thoughts and behavior. Whether psyche, brain, or nerves: If just one of them slips out of balance, this has consequences for the other two. If, for example, stress attacks your nerves, your immune system is no longer able to fight diseases well. However, we can do a lot to stabilize this network. Christina Berndt shows us which strategies increase our self-healing powers and resilience, and how we can promote our health holistically.
