ARE MEN MORE AT RISK OF INFECTION?
Some factors can put men more at risk of developing serious infections (based on official statistics)
*Men are more likely to smoke *Men are more likely to be obese *Men are less hygienic(hand washing)
*Men are less likely to treat the illness before it fully develops
*Men tend to be more stressed *Men are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure
One key factor is that men have one chromosome X. A number of critical immune genes are located in the chromosome X (too much to go into genetics, proteins, etc)
Reflexology can be very helpful in helping to boost your immune system, inducing relaxation (which in turn can help lower blood pressure). Making sure you take your immunosupport supplements, eat healthy, go for walks, and in general being active
can help to strengthen your immunity. Contact me to book your appointment
