Five tips to increase your resilience
Resilience is defined as the ability to face, resist, and adapt to and/or overcome stressful social, medical, and psychological situations without evident repercussions on the biopsychosocial integrity of the individual.
Resilience, as the capacity or property of adaptation and survival, resides in and is nurtured by a psychoneuroimmunological axis (cortex, limbic system, pituitary gland, hormones). While it is true that some people are born with what we might call innate resilience, others need to develop what we could call latent or acquired resilience.
This can be done through positive thinking; pleasant visualizations, with relaxation; healthy habits; sleep hygiene and, as far as the immune system is concerned, strengthening it through appropriate diets, with the necessary electrolyte supplements (magnesium, zinc, selenium and all those that participate in biochemical processes) within measurable parameters and far from the risk that their excesses could lead to.
