so like this new study is saying that if you're positive and think good things will happen, your body can actually fight off germs better? it sounds too cool to be true lol, but at the same time its kinda logical... we do know that our brains can affect how our bodies work right? like meditation and stuff can help with stress and anxiety. so maybe harnessing positive thinking could really help our immune system 
i wonder though, what kind of training sessions did they use to get people's brains going? were they like guided meditations or something? and how long did the participants have to do these sessions for it to make a difference? also, is this gonna be available as a treatment for people who cant afford it?
! It makes total sense that positive thinking can actually boost your immune system - all those endorphins and whatnot are probably doing some serious damage control to all the nasty cells in our body 
But what really gets me is how they used real-time feedback to monitor participants' mental states... like, imagine having a personal coach for your brain 
I've got friends who are always stressing out before a doctor's visit and they end up getting really sick... now I'm thinking maybe they just need some positive vibes instead of meds 
would love to see more research on this, but if it means we can harness our brains to boost immunity, that's like totally awesome! 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to boost their immune system just by thinking positive? It makes total sense - we've all heard of the power of positivity before, but now there's actual science behind it 
. It's like, our brains are capable of doing so much more than we ever thought possible. The idea that mental states can impact our natural defenses is mind-blowing 
. This could be a game-changer for people with weakened immune systems or those who are going through cancer treatment. Fingers crossed that these findings lead to more research and some amazing breakthroughs soon 
anyway, this study is kinda cool. I mean who needs vaccines when you've got positive thinking on your side? just kidding (kinda). but seriously, if harnessing our brains can boost our immune system that's like, super powerful. maybe we should all try some brain training sessions before the next flu season... or at least after a Netflix binge
