Maintaining health and increasing body immunity during a pandemic are wise ways to avoid the Corona Virus. Eating nutritious food and getting enough exercise are still not perfect if your feelings and thoughts are always stressed and sad.

In our bodies there are endorphins (endorphin is a type of hormone and chemical compound in the body that functions to control stress and injury. Apart from acting as a natural pain reliever, endorphins are also one of the happiness hormones that the body generally releases as a response to pain relief. or stress). If we are happy, the inflammatory cells in our bodies are not high, but if we are often sad or stressed, the inflammatory cells in our bodies become large or high, so we are prone to disease. So, feeling happy can indeed help grow immunity, so that we stay healthy.”
