Your immune system is weak? Check these signs
- Need much sugar
The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition say, 5 hours after we have 100 grams of sugar, the ability of white blood cells fight germs will come down drastically. One hundred grams of sugar is equivalent to three medium cans of soda.

- The body weight is heavier
The fact found that the swine flu victims have the same characteristics, that body mass index over 40. Being overweight can cause imbalances hormonal, inflammation, and disrupt the body’s ability to fight infection.

- Nasal Cavity is too dry
Clogged nose is very disturbing. But, if our nasal cavity is too dry, it is also not good, because mucus in the nose is useful to “trap” and clean incoming viruses. If there’s no mucus in the nose, it gave access for germs to attack our body’s defenses.

- Not enough drink
There’s a reason why doctors are always pushing us a lot to drink when sick. The body needs lots of water to remove toxins. The need to drink for every person is different, depending on the condition of the body and their respective activities. To know whether we had enough to drink or not is to see the color of urine. A good urine color is clear or pale clear yellow.

- Prolonged stress
No coincidence that we get flu when the work in the office is piling up. American Psychological Association reported that long-term stress can weaken our immune response. “If we stress during the flu, symptoms can be sure that we will experience will be even worse,” said Philip Thierno.

- Not feel well often
Typically, adults get flu about 2-3 times a year. If we are experiencing more than this, it can be ascertained the condition of the body is at a low level and should be followed up immediately with rest and nutritious food.
