Art and health: biochemistry of well-being and body self-regulation in integrated therapeutic practices
Keywords:
biological resilience, immune system, stress and adaptation, inflammatory profile, creative interventionsAbstract
This argumentative essay aimed to explore, from a biochemical perspective, the connection of art and health for well-being and bodily self-regulation in integrated therapeutic practices. The approach was done through documentary research using the electronic signing technique. The theoretical development included aspects related to art: vehicle for homeostasis, regulation of cortisol through therapeutic artistic practices, immune system: creative connections and biological resilience. Among the conclusions, it was highlighted that the immune system and psychological resilience are interconnected in a continuous adaptive process. Stress management through creativity and emotional well-being reinforces immune functions, and interventions that modulate the inflammatory profile, such as probiotics, can enhance the body's resistance capacity, facilitating balance and comprehensive recovery of the individual. The future vision of this article activates the idea that resilience and the immune system aim to develop personalized interventions that integrate creative, emotional and nutritional strategies. Modulations of the inflammatory profile through probiotics and neuroimmunological approaches will open new therapeutic possibilities, strengthening the organism's adaptive capacity against stress and promoting comprehensive well-being in various contexts.
