Excerpted from Prevention, there are 8 things that can lowers immunity:
1. Often stayed up late
Reducing time to sleep will have a strong adverse effect on the sleep imunitas.orang 4 hours, will only produce as much as 50 percent of antibodies in the blood.
2. Acting pessimistic
A study from UCLA found a student who started his first semester with the optimist has more T cells, to reinforce and strengthen the immune response of natural killer cells in the body. This is because he will be a bit of stress that makes it has a good health.
3. Always feel depressed and stressed

4. Always borrow a pen or goods from others
Germs are very easy to pass from hand to hand, so avoid touching common objects such as pens or anything else to reduce the risk of catching a cold or a contagious disease that can affect the immune system.

Researchers reveal the positive emotions associated with laughter can reduces stress hormones and enhance certain immune cells and begin the other.
Research conducted by Loma Linda University School of Medicine, healthy adults who get to watch a funny video for a hour will experience a significant increase in immune system activity.
