Autoimmune Diseases: A Serious Health Concern For All 20-Somethings

Triggers

All autoimmune diseases are related and begin in the gut where approximately seventy-five percent of the immune system resides. After developing one autoimmune disease, it is very common to receive another diagnosis of a separate autoimmune disease later in life. Although doctors do not know what causes them, certain factors may trigger a flare, such as a poor diet, lack of sleep, too much stress, a sedentary lifestyle, and even genetics. A person who has a family history of autoimmunity is at an increased risk of developing a condition themselves.
