International holidays - World Immunity Day

The World Health Organization celebrates Immunity Day on March 1 every year. The first day of spring in this case was not chosen by chance. We all know what spring vitamin deficiency is and other problems associated with the weakening of the immune system, which supported our body during the cold winter days. World Immunity Day is not a fun event. The main goal of this holiday is to inform humanity about how important the immune system is to the body and how it helps the body cope with viruses and bacteria. And since you can strengthen your immunity with the help of a healthy lifestyle, another task of this day is to encourage the population of our planet to exercise and give up bad habits. It is very important to understand that immunity is not just a protector of our body, but also a powerful weapon against various diseases. On the one hand, the immune system is a natural barrier to the penetration of foreign elements. On the other hand, it suppresses the cells of its own body, which were damaged in the process of vital activity and began to pose a danger themselves. With the help of recent research, it has become known today that the proper functioning of the immune system, and thanks to it, a person’s well-being, largely depends on the lifestyle we lead. On the one hand, we are affected by external negative factors: poor ecology, poor-quality water from the tap, large temperature changes, etc. And on the other hand, internal: drinking alcohol, smoking, taking heavy medications, sedentary lifestyle, eating junk food, etc. And if it’s difficult for us to cope with the first ones, then helping our body minimize internal negative factors is the task of each of us. World Immunity Day was invented to point out to humanity the importance of giving up bad habits and helping your body. Translated from Latin, “immunity” means “freedom from something.” It is clear that in this case we mean the body’s rejection of damaged cells and foreign objects. But, on this day, try to give up what prevents you from being healthy: fatty foods, spending too much time on the couch and drinking alcohol. Put on your tracksuit and run outside! Look at nature awakening from sleep and disperse the winter melancholy. Let World Immunity Day be a starting point in your life. Help your body and it will reciprocate.
