9. Stress and Immune System Function

Stress can negatively impact the immune system, making it more reactive to allergens. Chronic stress can lead to increased production of cortisol, a hormone that can suppress the immune system and make the body more susceptible to allergic reactions. Additionally, stress can exacerbate symptoms of allergies, making them feel more severe.

The Mayo Clinic highlights that managing stress through techniques such as mindfulness, exercise, and adequate sleep can help reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. Taking steps to manage stress can improve overall immune function and reduce allergic reactions.
