19. Палити чи не палити?
Паління асоціюється з багатьма шкідливими речами, пов'язаними не лише з захворюваннями серцевої та легеневої систем. Але також і репродуктивною системою. Нижче наведено декілька причин, які переконують, що палити треба кинути як найшвидше.
1. Очевидна причина - рак легенів, що за статистикою частіше зустрічається у тих людей, які палять, ніж у тих, які не мають цієї звички. Паління основний фактор роз витку ішемічної хвороби серця. На заході жінки палять так само багато як і чоловіки, а дані підтверджують, що в жінок смертність від судинних захворювань вища, ніж у чоловіків.
Як показали дослідження, паління призводить до зниження щільності кісток та провокує розвиток остеохондрозу. Паління токсично впливає на сперму. Було проведено дослідження двох груп молодих людей (кірців, що палять по 20-30 цигарок на добу, та контрольної групи — осіб, що не палили ніколи). Сперматозоїди курців виявилися менш рухливими та життєдіяльними.
Жінки, що палять 20 та більше цигарок на день, в одному з чотирьох випадків мають коротший менструальний цикл у порівнянні з жінками, що не палять взагалі. Паління скорочує менструальний цикл у прямій залежності від кількості цигарок майже повністю за рахунок фолікулярної фази розвитку яйцеклітини.
Це може бути причиною зниженого рівня естрогену в курців, ранньої менопаузи, безплідності та більш високого рівня мимовільних абортів, ніж у некурців.
Паління під час вагітності призводить до народження недоношеною немовля. Недоношені новонароджені мають значно більше проблем за здоров'ям, ніж діти, які народилися вчасно. Так палити чи не палити? Сподіваємося, що ця стаття забезпечила Вас достатньою інформацією, щоб допомогти відповісти на це запитання.
