• Environmental exposure - air polluted by industrial chemicals, carcinogenic substances in food and water, ionizing radiation, etc.
• Genetic predisposition.
• Pathogenic processes in the body, chronic diseases of internal organs.
• Severe psychological stress due to the loss of a loved one, a favorite job, conflicts with other people. Because of the experience, tissues and organs of the body spasm and do not get enough nutrition. Negative emotions produce hormones, which in excess have a negative impact on health.
• Deficiencies in nutrients, vitamins and trace elements reduce the body's defenses. Lack of nutrients from which it would build new cells.
• Low physical activity leads to insufficient blood circulation, to stagnation in tissues and organs. The fluid of the lymphatic system moves only when the muscles are working. If there is little activity, purification of the body is hampered.
