Mindfulness and Immune function

July 18, 2011 By Whitney Young, ND

Not only does Mindful Based Stress Reduction help reduce anxiety, but it increases immune function, and decreases inflammation too!  Attitude is everything.

“Twenty-four participants (28-72 years) were enrolled in an 8-week MBSR program. There were significant improvements in anxiety and overall distress across multiple domains of quality of life versus baseline. The patients who reported improvement in mental well-being also showed increased natural killer activity and lower C-reactive protein. However, the patients who reported no improvement showed no change in natural killer cell activity. ”
