Decreased immune not only makes a person exposed to a cold or cough, but it makes people vulnerable to bacterial or viral infection on the outside.
there are 8 things that can lower the immune response, namely:
1. Often stayed up late
Reducing sleep time will have a strong detrimental effect on immunity, it is because of less hours of sleep was associated with decreased immune system function and reduce the number of cells that function against bacteria. Researchers from the University of Chigago found people who slept four hours, will only produce as much as 50 percent of antibodies in the blood.
2. Acting pessimistic
A study from UCLA found a student who started his first semester with optimism have more T cells, so as to reinforce and strengthen the immune response of natural killer cells in the body. This is because he would be a bit of stress that makes it have good health.
3. Always feel depressed and stressed
Stress and chronic stress are received every day not only makes the job becomes uncomfortable, but also detrimental to the health aspects, including immunity. Type of stress can cause a decrease in the ability of the immune system to fight disease. Therefore, try to find ways to reduce stress, such as going somewhere, doing yoga or doing things that are fun.
4. Always borrow a pen or goods from others
Germs are very easily passed from hand to hand, so avoid touching common objects such as pens or the other in order to reduce the risk of catching a cold or a contagious disease that can affect the immune system.
5. Always use a vehicle to go anywhere
Someone who always uses the vehicle and never walk will make him more vulnerable to sickness and immune decline compared with people who walk regularly. Experts said that running or aerobics for 30 minutes can make white blood cells back into circulation and the immune system back more smoothly.
6. Having friends who smoke
As it is known that inhalation of cigarette smoke can be harmful to the body, including the person's immune system. Therefore as much as possible to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke when spending time with a smoker.
7. Often taking antibiotics
Researchers found patients taking certain antibiotics can reduce the amount of cytokines (hormone messengers of the immune system). So when the immune system suppressed, one would be easier to develop resistant bacteria. For that antibiotics should not consume carelessly, unless prescribed by a doctor.
8. Has a serious personality
Researchers reveal the positive emotions associated with laughter can lower stress hormones and enhance certain immune cells and activate the other.
Research conducted by Loma Linda University School of Medicine to get healthy adults who watched a funny video for one hour will experience a significant increase in the activity of the immune system.
