Stress, Your Immune System, and Healthy Aging

An immune system, the system that prevents diseases caused by infections (like influenza, Covid, polio, tetanus, and pneumonia), must function properly during aging to stay healthy. However, the immune system can also cause disease by reacting against one’s own body. Stress can also disturb the normal immune system function. Thus, the immune system can be our friend, but also our enemy. This course will teach participants how the different parts of the immune system function to prevent disease and the health consequences of when they don’t work properly.
