Named the main organ that affects longevity

Despite the fact that the heart and brain are traditionally considered to be the main organs that influence the length of life, there is another one, the importance of which is often forgotten. This organ is responsible for immunity, which allows the body to cope with various inflammatory processes, which are considered one of the main causes of the development of fatal diseases.

According to the latest research, life expectancy directly depends on the state of the intestines, and to be more precise – from its microflora. Scientists have proven that it affects the whole body. Due to disturbances in the microflora, a person faces such diseases as diabetes, hypertension, thrombosis and other serious conditions that begin with metabolic syndrome.

In addition, the intestines contain more than 70% of bacteria capable of protecting the body from viruses. . In this way, immunity is formed, which decreases due to a decrease in the number of useful microorganisms. As a result, the risk of fatal diseases increases many times over.
