Bad habits that put a strain on our body and its immune system. Thanks to a tightly connected network of biological processes, our body is capable of correct any imbalances which can occur anywhere within the body and self-heal by bringing it back to a state of balance. This great self-healing power that we possess is miraculous.
However, if this system is constantly overloaded with toxins and stress, and there isn't a sufficient load of nutrients to support it, such self-healing power gradually wears out.
Exactly not immediately, not from today to tomorrow, but gradually.
And when that happens the body it is no longer able to return to its original state of balance. It simply adapts and lives as best it can, with one or more functions impaired.
Over time, the functions that have remained - and that no longer work to their full potential - do they deteriorate even faster of the first and in the end they manifest themselves chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Since all functions in our body are closely intertwined, the obstruction or degeneration of one function will sooner or later negatively affect other related functions as well.
We have been accustomed to believing that the "aches", those little pains that we all have, and the fatigue, are absolutely normal things.
This is not at all true because every pain (even slight), every discomfort and every moment of tiredness is an alarm signal. A call to action.
Most of the things I am about to tell you are very common and are accepted as a normal part of our life.
Let's find out these now 10 habits that lower the immune system and that risk ruining our health and our life, 10 things that, in short, we should avoid in order to live longer.

Eating foods whose nature or origin you do not know
Most foods found on the market and that most people consume (beyond the beautiful promises and tantalizing photos on the labels), you can never clearly understand what they contain and where they come from. They don't look or smell like the things they come from.
Have you ever seen pasta or biscuits growing in the fields? Absolutely no. They are all cereal-based products. Cereals that have been processed, reduced to powder and deprived of their nutritional value and which are then modeled in various sizes and more or less imaginative shapes. The result?
Foods with very low nutritional value, but rich in aromas and chemical additives almost useless, indeed, harmful to our organism. This kind of food, in addition to clogging our body with toxins, quickly load the blood with sugars. Sugars that turn into fats and that, in the long run, favor theobesity and diabetes.
You have to keep in mind that these are not foods, they are products. And the products are made and designed to be sold again, again and again. They have nothing to do with the nourishment and health.

Eat meat often and willingly, especially red meat
After several studies, the World Cancer Research Fund recommends people to limit the consumption of red meat and avoid processed meat (cured meats, etc.) to prevent cancer, especially colon cancer.
This does not mean that you have to give up meat completely. (Although, for a variety of other reasons we don't have the space to talk about, it would be ideal.) What I recommend is that, if you really have to eat meat, choose it in an intelligent way, perhaps limiting yourself to the consumption of fresh fish e organic white meat.

Seek medication right away, at the slightest disturbance
In an era like ours where speed is everything and time is never enough, we almost always seek and choose those solutions that promise us quick results.
This mentality then, of course, affects the way we view healing and health. And so let's just take a corny one cold, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Aspirin right? Take this little magic pill and you'll get better right away.
Often, however, the drugs do not address the real cause of our malaise, are limited to turn off symptoms, they just give you some time to recover. The effect of the medicines then is not eternal and not removing the culprit of your malaise, after some time, the cold returns and maybe turns into the flu.
The point is that instead of resorting to drugs right away, one should commit to strengthening of one's immune system.

Calculate the 5 steps up to the car as a physical activity
Ssedentary lifestyle he's a silent killer and should be listed first 10 causes of death. Human beings are not meant to sit in front of the television or work on the computer for 8 hours or more.
Movement is important for the proper functioning of all our life processes, but in particular, it is essential for the circulation of the lymphatic system, the backbone of our immune system which, unlike the blood, does not have a propeller like the heart, therefore to circulate our vital lymph, it absolutely needs movement.
Live like a camel
A camel can live for days or even months without water, we humans, on the other hand, do not. Staying for a long time without drinking water or drinking only when thirsty is not a very healthy thing. Lack of thirst, in fact, is a signal and tells us that the our body is almost dehydrated. It is not even necessary to repeat that our body is made up for the most part of water and that it needs to be constantly replenished.
We need water for dhisset ourselves, to digest, to cleanse our organism and for various other processes that ensure the proper functioning of our body and our immune system.
Smoking, drinking and "having fun" every day
Having fun is a beautiful thing, one of the greatest joys of our life, but the meaning of this word is often misunderstood.
For our body there is nothing funny inbeing intoxicated e smothered by smoke or from the various chemical and toxic substances that the cigarette contains, and which you may have to strive to excrete. Furthermore, by smoking we also harm those around us by making them passive smokers.
The same goes for when you overdo it with alcohol, which at the very least (in addition to the damage it causes to the brain) clogs our blood and dehydrated the body.
There are far better and healthier ways to have fun and really enjoy life. Just look for them, according to your tastes.

Work like crazy
"Hard work" is a great way to stretch our immune system. It is said that to make money you have to work hard and hard but, honestly .. How many people do you know who get rich working like crazy? Look at the richest people in the world, like Donald Trump or Bill Gates. Do you think they are breaking the stones in the quarries?
Without a doubt, you need to get informed, train, commit yourself, and take what you are doing seriously without ruining your health and well-being because otherwise what are you doing?
There are very few people who make a lot of money by working a lot, and generally these people are too stressed and sick to enjoy it.
According to this theory, bricklayers, miners, farmers, people who work in steel mills, etc. they should be among the richest in the world.
Unfortunately, however, this is not the case, on the contrary, the people who work in those environments are often and willingly grieved, bruised, sick and poor.
Do nothing but feel stressed
