People who don’t get sick for a long time have poor immunity and are more likely to get cancer? The truth is out!

It is often said that "people who don't get sick for a long time, not even a cold, have poor immunity. Once they get sick, it's a serious illness, including cancer." It seems that people who get sick frequently are more impressive, while people who don't get sick very often have to worry? Are people who don't catch a cold or rarely catch a cold actually bad?

Of course not.

01

Some people rarely catch colds or have fevers

What could be the reason?

1. Strong immune system

As soon as viruses and bacteria invade, they are quickly cleared out by the immune system in their infancy, and the invading enemies are quietly resolved.

2. Personal protection is done well, and the amount of viruses and bacteria in the environment is small or not very toxic.

People who rarely catch colds have poor immunity? On the contrary, their immunity is likely to be better.

What kind of people are more likely to catch colds frequently? Very young children and very old people will catch colds easily if they are not careful, while young and middle-aged people rarely catch colds (in fact, they may catch colds occasionally, but even if they do catch a cold, they may not feel anything and will recover quickly). In comparison, who do you think has better immunity? Who is more likely to get cancer? The answer is self-evident.

Are people who rarely catch a cold or have a fever more likely to get cancer? No!

If you rarely catch a cold, it means you have a strong immune system.

In addition, it is also possible that personal hygiene (pay attention to hand washing, disinfection, wearing masks, etc.) and lifestyle are good, so viruses and bacteria have fewer chances to invade. Even if some "slippery" bacteria invade, they will be eliminated by the body's most basic defense mechanism in minutes.

Therefore, people who rarely catch colds are more likely to get cancer. There is no scientific basis for this, so don't feel psychologically burdened.

02

Why do some people rarely catch colds?

Suddenly diagnosed with cancer?

People who rarely catch colds have a good physique and good immunity. They rarely get sick, or they are not a big deal at all. They may even think that a little cough or low fever is no big deal and it will pass quickly, with no impact on their life or work. They give the impression that they never get sick, and they themselves think they have never been sick.

Once such a person gets seriously ill, the contrast is too stark. The stronger the contrast, the deeper the impression, and it will give people an illusion: if they don’t get sick normally, then once they get sick, it’s a serious illness. For people who have minor illnesses all the time, people think that this person is prone to illness, and they don’t think it’s strange even if they get seriously ill.

On the contrary, people always think that people who never get sick will never get sick and should not get sick. Once they get sick, the contrast is stronger and the impression is deeper. It is like someone who often does all kinds of minor bad things. People seem to be accustomed to it and regard him as a not-so-good person. If he does something bad one day, people don't seem to think it's too strange. But if there is a good person in everyone's mind who suddenly does something slightly bad one day, the sensational effect will be much greater.
