I’m a big believer in air linked to risk. In this article, I’ll give you a summary of what the science has discovered so far about our environment, immune systems, and how they may be linked to autoimmune disease.
The science is all very well, but how does it relate to us? If you already have chronic diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, then we already know how they affect us. They don’t just affect your joints and bones, they affect your cells, organs, and immune system. Air is a key element to how these diseases function, and it may be a key to how they affect us.
Air pollution is linked to cancer, heart disease, and other autoimmune diseases, but there is actually good evidence that it can also increase those same conditions. But how so? The link between air pollution and autoimmune disease starts in the lungs.
The lungs are a key organ in our immune system, which is why they are affected by air pollution, which is why air pollution is linked to autoimmune disease. The lungs are also a key organ in our immune system because it is the first organ in our body to be affected by the immune system. So it is plausible that air pollution and autoimmune disease start in the lungs.
According to a new study by the World Health Organization, air pollution is linked to some serious autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn’s disease. According to The Atlantic, air pollution “is not a cause of just one disease, but of many.” In fact, a number of scientists believe that air pollution is the direct cause of the common cold.
Air pollution is by far the biggest cause of these diseases, so it’s no surprise that they’re linked together. The best way to reduce it is to reduce your exposure to it.
The good news is that air pollution is usually less harmful for you than for the environment. However, if you’re susceptible to the common cold, it’s best to avoid all indoor sources of air pollution.
Air pollution affects the lungs in so many ways, but some of the more obvious results can be pretty nasty. For instance, the air pollution that causes the common cold is actually a form of lung cancer. It’s called coal-mine-related air pollution, and it has been linked to up to 20 million deaths per year. The most insidious effect of air pollution is that it causes an immune response that attacks the lining of the lungs. This is why asthma is so common.
This is because people with asthma have a very low level of white blood cells that can fight off infection. However, air pollution can make your lungs become very inflamed, leading to more serious health issues. I think the link between air pollution and chronic diseases like asthma is pretty clear. That being said… it’s a whole lot easier to ignore if you have a chronic disease than if you have asthma.
The same can be said for our immune system. It’s not like you can prevent a disease because you can’t cure it. But you can control your symptoms and keep it from getting worse. Asthma, eczema, and other chronic diseases are all diseases that can be controlled by taking good care of yourself.
