Test yourself: what habits make you defenseless against disease
10 things that spoil our immunity:
1. Untreated diseases. Even a carious tooth, which should have been filled for a long time, affects disease resistance. What can we say about serious systemic diseases such as diabetes, which are often not compensated for by medications.
2. Clothes not for the weather which leads to constant hypothermia. Bare ankles, lack of warm socks, hats, scarves - all this matters.
3. Disruption of circadian rhythms and late bedtime. You need to go to bed until 23 o'clock.
4. Excess weight. Excess adipose tissue supports inflammation, which weakens the immune system.
5. Violated work regime: work seven days a week, holidays. The body does not have time to recover.
6. Increased amount of stress and lack of rehabilitation opportunities. Let me remind you that resistance to stress increases with increasing muscle mass. Therefore, it is important to eat protein foods and exercise.
7. Unhealthy food. A large number of sweets, sugary sodas and fruits in food. This should also include the use of products with end products of glycation (for example, fried foods) or provoking excessive glycation (mayonnaise, sweet sauces).
8. Alcohol abuse.
9. Frequent flightsrelated to the change of time zones.
10. The use of drugs that can lead to hormonal imbalance or suppressing the immune system. For example, antifungal drugs.
