It reduces stress hormones
It stimulates the immune system because it reduces stress hormones that at high levels deplete the body’s defense and increases antibodies that shield the body against disease.
An antidote to depression
It protects from depression, because it increases the levels of endorphins, which are good chemicals in the body that are an antidote to depression, while it relieves pain symptoms.
Against stress
It relieves stress, which is one of the most aggravating factors in health as it can trigger illnesses and worsen the existing ones.
Ally of the heart
It protects the heart, because it reduces anger, a feeling known to burden the heart. Angry people have been reported to suffer from cardiovascular disease more often.
