In everyday life, real “pests” that can harm the immune system are constantly waiting for us.
Here they are:
Sleep deficit
Since our body is restored at night, releasing substances that strengthen the body’s defenses, you need to sleep enough time to be healthy. The fact is that in a person who sleeps little, antibodies slowly form. They play an important role in supporting immunity. That is why lack of sleep can adversely affect your health.
Malnutrition
The immune system perceives fatty and high-calorie foods as an infection. This means that such a reaction can lead to a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the consumption of large amounts of junk food with a low nutrient content inhibits the immune system. Because of this, a person becomes more vulnerable to viruses.
Stress
In our blood there are cells that protect humans from bacteria and viruses. Long-term stress has a negative effect on these cells. This makes them inactive. At the same time, the number of immune cells is reduced. A person becomes susceptible to various diseases.
Dehydration
If there is not enough water in the human body, the metabolic process is significantly slowed down. Toxins accumulate in the body, which then poison our body. Blood becomes thicker, it flows worse through the vessels. This means that the heart, brain and muscles lack nutrients and oxygen. This greatly weakens the immune system.
Cooling the limbs, especially the legs
We have been constantly told since childhood that feet should be kept warm. However, few people understand why this is necessary. In response to cooling the legs, our body tries to warm them. After that, he tries to protect himself from further heat loss. To do this, it constricts all blood vessels. As a result, blood begins to pass through them more slowly. All organs and mucous membranes are worse supplied with blood. But dry mucous membranes more easily pass pathogenic bacteria into the body.
