Worried Sick

Can worrying about getting sick make you sick? Yes!

There’s some truth to the phrase “worried sick.” Research shows that excess worry and stress not only lowers our immunity – but can also manifest into acid reflux, insomnia, skin rashes and depression. So all that worrying actually leaves us more vulnerable to catching a bug – and can even enhance the symptoms and severity. If you do get sick – keep in mind that people with positive attitudes tend to bounce back much faster.
