Scientists have proven that men suffer more severely from the flu compared to women, and also experience more pain in the throat and joints. This was stated by nutritionist Jenna Hope, writes the Daily Mail.





The doctor explained that this difference in flu tolerance is due to the characteristics of the male body. She explained that testosterone, a male sex hormone, suppresses immune system function, leading to more acute and longer-lasting cold and flu symptoms:

Men do suffer from illness much more than women because women's immune systems are stronger due to higher levels of estrogen and progesterone and lower levels of testosterone.



Hope called the female immune system more resilient. According to her, this property is provided by the hormones estrogen and progesterone, the level of which in women is much higher than in men.

To strengthen your immune system, Hope advised getting a flu shot and maintaining a daily routine. In her opinion, eight hours of sleep helps the body better protect itself from viruses.

“This is confirmed by a study from Harvard University. Scientists tested the theory on mice and found that doses of estrogen cured them of bacterial pneumonia."
