If under stress are you more likely to suffer from cold and flu?

Yes, I feel stress can bring on cold and flu, I also feel stress can mess up your whole system. Sincerely, sandy

I totally agree. I also found an article about it..... "being stressed out may not only increase your chances of getting sick, but it could also hinder your immune system's ability to fight off infection and disease. New research shows that chronic stress can affect how well the immune system is able to respond to its own signals. The study shows that constant stress impairs the immune system's capacity to respond to the normal hormonal cues that signal the end of an inflammatory attack after an infection or injury. Those hormones, known as glucocorticoids, are responsible for turning off the production of compounds from the immune system that trigger inflammation." so there ya go! By the way, not all stress is bad... Too much, or long term stress is what can have a negative effect on the body.... Hope everyone iz well xoxoxoxox
