If we usually get sick or if we suffer from frequent anemia despite sports activity and a balanced diet, it is possible that there are still nutritional deficiencies.
A first reason why the organism can suffer could be the insufficient supply of minerals such as zinc and selenium.
These two elements have a fundamental function in strengthening the immune defenses and for the health of hair and nails. But also in the stimulation of metabolism and in the control of hormone production by the thyroid.
15 mg per day of zinc and selenium are able to fulfill all these tasks and also protect the cardiovascular system.
Why the intestine
The intestine is one of the organs that most of all protects us when external pathogens threaten us. Fatigue, migraines and even hair loss at certain times of the year could mean that the body is in trouble. If the gut is not healthy, our bodies could literally go haywire.
The intestine is inhabited by billions of microorganisms and gives life to 60% of the immune cells that defend us from the attack of harmful antigens. Without its action these cells could attack valuable elements such as important bacteria, worsening the effects of diseases that make us weaker.
The lymph nodes in the intestine are a real control unit of the immune defense that we can field against enemy bacteria.
The intestinal barrier is formed by the mucosa, flora and GALT. It is a triple defense which, thanks to the action of lymphocytes, blocks threats to the body by producing fighting antibodies.
Dangerous antigens are also attacked by the action of enzymes that break down food into molecules, turning it into new cells and energy.
Fatigue, migraines and even hair loss, discharge and anemia are common in spring for these 3 reasons and the last one is surprising.
PNEI is a discipline that studies the relationships between the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the immune defense with particular attention to the effects on human behavior.
There is a close connection between the agents who act as mediators of these 3 systems. This means that the signals produced by the nervous system are transformed into a physical reaction. Below we have an immune reaction. But this path also works in reverse. That is, the immune response influences the action of the nervous system.
This is why mood is essential to guarantee our body a state of health that lasts over time.
Keeping stress and fears at bay helps the immune system in its defense work and what we can do to make this happen is to pay attention to lifestyle.
Doing meditation and yoga, engaging in activities that keep us moving and, if necessary, requesting professional psychological help could help us from several points of view.
These behaviors can cure our body but could be fundamental above all in the prevention of disorders that occur at certain times of the year.
