Much is said about the modern way of eating, which has a negative impact on our health. Processed food, full of sugar, trans fats and preservatives, and irregular meals mean that the human body cannot cope with neutralizing unfavorable substances, which is why we increasingly suffer from various diseases. But it is not only food that is a modern threat to health. Other factors from the immediate environment and modern conveniences also have a destructive effect on the condition of the human body.

Modern technology

Every day we are exposed to electromagnetic waves, by "making" our lives easier with modern devices such as: microwave ovens, induction hobs, devices operating on WIFI, 5G transmitters, mobile phones used " non-stop". Studies confirm the destructive effects of electromagnetic waves, which kill living cells, thus weakening the human microbiome.

There are three types of radiation:

• Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation that has enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, which can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer. Examples of ionizing radiation include X-rays, gamma rays, and radiation from radioactive materials. People who work in professions that expose them to this type of radiation, such as radiologists or nuclear power plant workers, must use appropriate protective measures to minimize health risks;
• non-ionizing includes UV (ultraviolet) radiation from the sun, which can lead to skin cancer, including melanoma. Long-term exposure to UV radiation can also cause premature skin aging and eye damage such as cataracts;
• electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi and microwave ovens is being studied for its potential long-term health effects. Although current scientific evidence does not clearly confirm that such radiation is harmful, it is recommended to take precautions, such as limiting the time spent using mobile devices.

In 2016, a study was conducted on the effect of electromagnetic radiation on the vital functions of the Bacillus subtilis bacterium and its ability to produce spores. The results show clearly: the viability of bacteria exposed to radiation in the fourth hour of exposure decreased fivefold ¹ .

Air pollution

Smog is one of the most recognizable and harmful types of air pollution. It is caused by a combination of dust, smoke, and other pollutants that are emitted by cars, factories, and other sources. Smog can cause a variety of health problems, especially in the elderly, children, and people with respiratory diseases.

Another source of unhealthy air is PM2.5 and PM10 particles, which are mainly created by fuel combustion, industry, road transport, burning waste, and deforestation. PM2.5 are particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, while PM10 are particles with a diameter of less than 10 micrometers. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, which can cause various health problems, such as respiratory irritation, asthma, chronic respiratory problems, and even heart and circulatory system diseases. In addition, they can also contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious diseases. Therefore, exposure to exhaust fumes can be harmful to human health, especially for the elderly, children, pregnant women, and people with existing health problems. Therefore, it is important to monitor air quality and take appropriate measures to reduce the emission of these dangerous particles. In addition, nitrogen and sulfur oxides , emitted mainly by combustion vehicles and industry, also affect air quality and can cause respiratory irritation, asthma and other respiratory diseases. Long-term exposure to these pollutants can lead to serious chronic diseases.

Microplastics and nanoplastics

Plastics are a convenience of modern times, but also a huge problem affecting humans and the environment. Microplastics are commonly referred to as small plastic particles created during the production of many products, including food packaging, electronics, cars, toys, credit cards , clothes, glitter , toothpaste , cigarettes and sunscreens. In recent years, scientists have also begun to use the term nanoplastics, meaning even smaller particles that easily pass with food into the digestive system of living organisms. Organisms in the aquatic environment are very vulnerable. Fish take in plastics through the digestive tract, but also through their gills and skin. Harmful particles settle mainly in their digestive tract, causing mechanical damage and a false feeling of satiety. In addition, microscopic substances can cause neurotoxicity, damage to tissues, intestines, DNA, reproductive organs, oxidative stress, or behavioral changes. People take in microplastics with food (fish, seafood) or from packaging in which food is stored. Numerous studies indicate a huge percentage of people who have plastics detected in their stool samples. The respiratory and digestive systems are most susceptible to the deposition of plastic particles, which can ultimately lead to cell damage and, consequently, to carcinogenesis.

Unbearable noise

Although invisible, excessive noise can be a serious health hazard. The human sense of hearing can perceive sounds with an intensity of 0-120 dB (for example, a whisper -20 dB, a normal conversation - 60 dB, and a plane taking off - 140 dB). The WHO considers a sound with an intensity of 80 dB as the threshold of harmful noise. Long-term exposure to high decibel levels, especially in large cities, can lead to hearing problems. In addition, constant noise causes stress, anxiety, and even depression, causing the systems in the human body not to rest, but to be constantly stimulated and in a state of constant readiness. This affects the quality of sleep, problems with falling asleep, interrupted sleep, and general fatigue. Another threat associated with long-term exposure to noise is cardiovascular disease. Studies confirm that noise can lead to hypertension, arrhythmia, and an increased risk of heart attacks. It has been proven to increase the level of stress hormones, which in the long term negatively affects the circulatory system and the microbiome, disturbing its homeostasis.

All of these factors affect the human microbiome. We have complete control over some, while we can significantly limit others. However, our modern lifestyle does not allow us to completely eliminate harmful stimuli. That is why we should take special care of our microbiome, using probiotic supplementation, to maintain the body's homeostasis and to continuously eliminate the negative effects of toxic factors. Regular cleansing of toxins and pathogenic microorganisms using appropriate products such as Narum OFFToxic forte, Detox and Matsun will create the right environment for probiotic bacteria. The metabolites of Lactobacillus acidophilus Er-2 strain 317/3402 Narine contained in Narum Fast eat pathogens, improve intestinal function and ensure that the excretion process is regular and correct.
