In addition to viruses and bacteria that compromise your immune system, there are also causes that you probably didn't know about.
Here are the hidden saboteurs of your immunity:
Microwave popcorn
The bags that contain microwave popcorn are covered with chemicals that have a bad effect on the immune system. You can easily eliminate them if you opt for popcorn from the pot.
Loneliness
The body's ability to fight disease can be impaired by poor sociability. Constant care of close relationships suppresses immunity. According to some research, lonely people get sick earlier and die earlier than social people.
Lack of sleep
Sleep affects the cells the body uses to fight infections. Quality sleep is especially affected by TV and computer, because the light from their screens can deceive the brain and thus slow down falling asleep. We have the best quality sleep when we sleep continuously from seven to nine hours.
Sugar
Research has shown that one hundred grams of sugar reduces the ability of white blood cells to kill bacteria up to five hours after consumption. That is why it is recommended to avoid sweets as much as possible, especially during flu and colds.
Dehydration
Immunity is also damaged by toxins, which are flushed out by liquid, primarily water, which you must take into your body regularly. In this way, dehydration is avoided, because most people are not even aware of how dehydrated their body is.
You rely on vitamin C
Most people will look for additional supplies of vitamin C in citrus fruits, and accordingly, in their first major purchase at the supermarket, they will buy tons of oranges and lemons.
However, Dr. Den Duna points out that research conducted over the past 70 years has shown that vitamin C does not alleviate cold symptoms. He says that there is no point in taking additional amounts of vitamin C, because our body will definitely take only the amount it needs and throw out the rest.
Zinc supplements significantly recover the body and additionally protect against viruses and bacteria.
