Quel est le lien entre le stress et la maladie ?

For quite a long time, people believed that stress can make you sick. But we had no way of scientific evidence. With the evolution and advancement of biomedical science we are now able to prove that there’s a clear link between the frame of mind and the condition of santé. The bridge which connects your mind and mind with the body and its general health is the immune system.

Système immunitaire

A properly functioning immune system protects the body from disease and when the immune system is malfunctioning, we get ill. This research paper will explore the mind-body relationship and how it affects the immune system and general health and the vie coaching implications. The purpose of the immune system is to protect our body from infection and disease.

The immune system accomplishes this by recognizing “self” from “nonself” cells. These “nonself” cells may be from the external world (viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi) or abnormal cells from inside our own body (cancer). These “nonself” cells are generally called antigens. Our immune system consists of os marrow, spleen, tonsils, thymus, lymph nodes and lymph vessels. All these organs and cells are involved in production, maturation and regeneration of our white blood cells. White blood cells, also referred to as the lymphocytes, are “soldiers” that fight infection and disease.

Types de cellules

There are three main forms of white blood cells: T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and natural killer lymphocytes. There’s a constant communication happening between lymphocytes – they chatter about antigens they struck; stimulate or suppress each other and govern how our immune system works. This communication is facilitated by little bio-molecules created by the cells of the immune system. T and B-lymphocytes will need to be sensitized by an antigen so as to have the ability to destroy it.

To put it differently, the immune system must recognize the presence of an antigen, transmit the comprehensive information regarding the antigen to a certain T cell known as”helper” that in turn will stimulate either a creation of an antibody or sensitize the B or T lymphocyte directly. Once sensitized, the lymphocytes have”knowledge” about the antigen they are seeking. They know what it looks like and they seek it out and ruin it by engulfing it bursting it with its biochemical warfare accessible.

Anticorps

Les anticorps ont une fonction similaire. Ils connaissent également les informations détaillées sur l'antigène et fabriquent à leur surface une anti-séquence qui ne s'adaptera qu'à l'arrangement de l'antigène qu'ils recherchent - comme votre clé de voiture qui ne s'adaptera qu'à la serrure de votre véhicule. Une fois que les anticorps se lient à l'antigène, ils le neutralisent avec leur propre groupe biochimique, ou ils deviennent des balises pour un autre lymphocyte, lui indiquant où se trouve l'ennemi et l'aidant à se concentrer sur lui et à l'engloutir.

Imaginez un missile qui a obtenu ses coordonnées et qui est en route pour détruire la cible. Les cellules tueuses naturelles n'ont pas besoin de "comprendre" un antigène pour le trouver et le détruire. Elles disposent d'un système inné de comprendreLes cellules tueuses naturelles constituent une bibliothèque de ce qui est "soi", c'est-à-dire de ce qui est ordinaire dans notre corps. Les cellules tueuses naturelles patrouillent dans notre propre corps et examinent les cellules qu'elles rencontrent. Lorsqu'elles trouvent un mobile qui ne correspond pas à leur bibliothèque, elles le détruisent.

Comment tombons-nous malades ?

We get ill when the immune system is defeated by the challenger. This may happen either because of being challenged by a novel antigen which our body has never encountered before, or when the immune system isn’t functioning properly. In our lifetime we encounter several novel antigens and because our body doesn’t have “knowledge” of its presence, it defeats the immune system. However, this success is only temporary, and the immune system will determine the publication antigen and mount an immune response against it. A great example would be grippe.

Every number of years there’s a new flu strain that will cause an outbreak. By getting a flu shot we provide our immune system a jump-start. We inoculate using a tiny particle of a influenza antigen giving our body the knowledge it needs to mount an immune reaction to this novel flu strain and by doing this to protect us from it.

Notre système immunitaire est activé et désactivé par un système complexe et si ce système fonctionne mal et n'active ou ne désactive pas la résistance, il se manifeste par une maladie. Le stress est la tension psychologique et physique due à notre réponse aux besoins de l'environnement.

Note finale

La preuve est accablante que anxiété and our frame of mind greatly affect the immune system and through this connection, general wellbeing. Life coaching methods and tools help manage life and minimize the effects of stress while at the same time that it enables clients to assume a realistically optimistic mindset. Coach-client partnership provides a strong support system that’s most needed for effective gestion du stress. For mentally healthy individuals that are trying to improve their physical health and wellbeing, life coaching is a key to achievement. Life coaching is also cheap, works quickly and it’s very efficient. Boost your immune system – get a life coach!
