Sometimes people wonder: why do they get sick all the time? What's wrong with their immune system? Why does she refuse to defend the body properly? It turns out that the whole point is in at first glance harmless habits (however, "offensive" habits were also noted here). Which ones? Let's figure it out.
A group of German researchers recently published the results of their work in the field of immunity. Scientists claim that the state of the human immune system depends directly on blood circulation. And if it happens without failures, then nothing threatens the immune system.
Also, German doctors talked about six habits that most negatively affect the state of our immune system:
1. Walking barefoot
It turns out that the level of immunity (specifically, its lowering) is influenced by the fact whether our feet are cold or not. In cold extremities, the blood circulates poorly, which means that it is easier for viruses to "strengthen" in the body.
Therefore, if there is a habit of walking barefoot on the floor, you should get rid of it - put on slippers or socks on your feet at home.
2. Smoking
This dangerous habit is the cause of many ailments. It also negatively affects the state of the immune system. And no wonder: smoking harms the "cilia" of the bronchi. But it is they who remove all the "garbage" from the lungs.
3. Alcohol abuse
And this habit is harmful, contributing to the development of numerous diseases, including the most severe. "On account" of alcohol there is also harm caused to human immunity. The negative effect of drinking alcohol on the body's resistance to harmful microorganisms, provoking many colds, has already been proven.
4. Late going to bed for a night's sleep
This moment is also bad for the immune system. Therefore, it is worth going to bed early so as not to disrupt blood circulation. Yes, and night owls smoke more, and eat off-schedule.
5. Frequent stress
This, of course, cannot be called a bad habit. Modern life is such that stress occurs in it more and more often. However, one must learn to react to them correctly, preserving not only the nervous, but also the immune system. In addition, you should try to avoid stressful situations and, of course, not create them yourself.
6. Improper nutrition
Due to a poor diet and non-compliance with the diet, the body experiences a lack of nutrients. For example, if you eat exclusively fast food for a long time, you can seriously undermine your immune system. Indeed, the immune system reacts to high-calorie food in much the same way as to an infectious invasion. It is because of the frequent unreasonable responses that the protective function of the immune system decreases over time, which in as a result, leads to the development of a variety of diseases, including diabetes mellitus, heart disease, vessels.
