Modern parents surround their small children with care and sometimes keep them in sterile conditions.
Experts advise against this because it can harm a small child's immune system.
Let's find out why the daily fight against bacteria and dirt can have the opposite effect.
Sterile childhood
1. It has been scientifically proven that children who grow up in sterile conditions are more likely to get sick, catch colds, and develop intestinal diseases.
2. Conversely, if a child is exposed to a certain number of pathogenic bacteria from an early age, then such contact works like a vaccination.
3. In a sterile environment, the child's immunity stops developing naturally.
4. Household chemicals that have disinfectant properties, suppress the activity of bacteria, fungi and viruses and are dangerous for the human body.
They pose a threat not only if swallowed, but also if inhaled.
5. In addition to chlorine and other chemicals, household chemicals contain triclosan, which is dangerous for the liver.
6. And the last point: antibacterial agents used for processing suppress the activity of beneficial bacteria.
Because of this, children may develop allergies, asthma and other diseases.
