Couple of notes, my list includes the date I finished reading and a couple of marks.

Their meanings:

what type of books do you like to read? can you tell me the names of the books you have read? i dont read much and i want to change that

Oh I read a wide range of books. Recently, due to my illness, I've been reading non-fiction related to the immune system such as Philipp Dettmers "Immune". Closely related is the autobiography "Brain on fire" by Susannah Cahalan.

Sometimes I read for nostalgic reasons, like Astrid Lindgrens books and older editions of "Bland tomtar och troll".

"Ond kemi" by Ulf Ellervik is one of my all time favourite books from the day I was into chemistry.

Then some more regular adult fiction like "Statskuppen i Norrland" by Grzegorz Flakierski and "Who fears death" by Nnedi Okorafor

Speaking of fear of dying, I do, so I've been reading some spiritually related books to help overcome that, but you'll have to go off anon for those titles

„Chronický stres mění chování pomocných T-lymfocytů, což není dobrá zpráva, protože pomocné T-lymfocyty řídí ostatní buňky v okolí a ovlivňují řadu imunitních reakcí. Stres může pokřivit jejich rozhodování a to vychýlí z rovnováhy celou imunitní odpověď.

Působením stresu se taky vylučují hormony, jako je kortizol, které obranyschopnost oslabují a potlačují, takže v různých ohledech nemůže správně vykonávat svou funkci. Zranění se hojí pomaleji, nemoci propukají snadněji. Stávající patogeny či onemocnění už se nedaří držet v šachu, takže například vzniká opar. Nebo v závažnějších případech mnohem rychleji postupuje HIV. Chronický stres znamená chronické vylučování kortizolu, což obranné soustavě všeobecně ubírá na síle.“
