Gossip:
dailylifeWe often hear this saying: “Those who have not been sick for a long time, or even have a cold, their immunity is not good, and they may be seriously ill or even cancer once they get sick……
After hearing this statement, it seems that those who are in good health and have not been sick for a long time need to be anxious, but those who continue to have minor illnesses are more guaranteed. Is this really the case?
The truth:
Of course not! This statement is not true.
Can minor ailments make the immune system more active?
For the above statement, the more popular “explanation” at this stage is that it is often “mobilized” by minor illnesses and painshuman bodyimmune system, improve the recognition rate of abnormal cells by the body’s immune cells”. According to experts, some minor ailments, such as colds and fevers, can indeed mobilize immune cell resistancevirus, but not as some people think, “frequent illnesses can make the immune system more active”.
In fact, people who often have colds and fevers often indicate poor immune function and a high chance of serious illness. For example, people who often have stomach pain and diarrhea often have poor gastrointestinal function and are likely to suffer from chronic gastrointestinal tractdisease。 People who do not get sick often just indicate good immunity and strong organ function.
WhySome people rarely get sick?
Some people rarely have colds and fevers for many reasons:
First of all, it may be that the immune system is strong, viruses andbacteriaAs soon as it invades, it is quickly cleaned up by the immune system in the bud, and the invading enemy is quietly solved.
Secondly, it may also be that personal hygiene (pay attention to hand washing, disinfection, wearing masks, etc.), lifestyle and other aspects are done well, and the chance of virus and bacteria invading is relatively small, even if there are some “slipping through the net”fish”The invasion of germs is eliminated by the body’s most basic defense mechanism in minutes.
In daily life, what kind of people are more likely to catch colds and fees frequently? Groups such as children and the elderly catch colds if they are not careful, and young and middle-aged people rarely catch colds (occasionally colds, but they get better quickly). In comparison, who do you think has better immunity? The answer is self-evident.
Why is there a rumor that “it is easier to get seriously ill if you don’t get sick for a long time”?
First, the contrast is strong and impressive. The stronger the contrast, the deeper the impression, it will give people the illusion that if they are not sick, they will be seriously ill. People who usually have minor illnesses are easy to get sick in everyone’s impression, and even if they are seriously ill, they don’t find it strange.
People who never get sick always think that he will not get sick, he should not get sick, and once he gets sick one day, this contrast is stronger and the impression is deeper. For example, some people often do all kinds of bad things, everyone seems to be accustomed to it, and the positioning of him is a not very good person, if one day he does a big bad thing, everyone doesn’t seem to think it’s too strange, but if there is a good person in everyone’s mind, one day he suddenly does a slightly bigger bad thing, the sensational effect will be much greater.
Second, the degree of concern for one’s own health is different. People who are often sick will pay more attention to health problems, notice slight changes in their body, and achieve early detection and treatment.
People who are not often sick often think that they are in good physical fitness, do not like to check their bodies, and ignore minor physical discomfort, which creates an opportunity for serious illness. Often it is not taken seriously until it is a serious illness, resulting in a lower prognosis than those who detect minor illnesses and pains early.
This also reminds those who always think that their health is great not to ignore minor problems such as colds, fevers and diarrhea, and keenly find out whether it is an early symptom of some major diseases.
