I was watching Joyce Meyer this moring and Don Colbert was on and I heard him say that when you hate your body, your cortisol level goes up and that's like a self-destruct hormone. It literally weakens the immune system because the immune system says well why should I protect them, they don't love me. So, you don't make as many natural killer cells that are the first line of defense against cancer, viruses and bacteria. And you start to get sick more frequently. So, learning to simply love yourself is going to spark the immune system and it's going to turn down the cortisol level to normal; It's going to enable a person to lose weight as well as break free of depression. So, I looked up Don on amazon and found this book.
