Choose one concept in our lesson today, give a brief explanation about the concept and cite how would you apply this learning in your everyday life.
From the lesson regarding the Lymphatic system, I saw how truly magnificent the human body is, as it is able to protect itself from invasion without us even having to actively think about it. However, I was particularly interested in the correlation between Stress and Immunity. Simply put, internal disturbances (thoughts, feelings, moods, etc.) have a great influence on overall health mainly due to the inhibition of immune activity (cortisol) and poor lifestyles (sleep deprivation, unhealthy habits). This made me realize how much my body does for me and yet I do not always contribute to help it. Thus, I can apply this learning to everyday life to start making active efforts such as eating well, sleeping as much as I can, and engaging in exercise to protect and look after myself just like my immune system.
