A nutritionist reveals who suffers more from colds and flu: women or men.

Men suffer more than women when they have colds and flu, nutritionist Jenna Hope told the British newspaper The Guardian. According to her, this happens because women’s immune systems are stronger than men’s.

The specialist claims that women have higher levels of progesterone and estrogen, which support immunity. At the same time, men have higher levels of testosterone, which supposedly suppresses the immune system. Because of this, men feel the effects of colds and flu more strongly than women – headaches, sore throats, etc.

However, some believe that men simply place greater emphasis on certain symptoms. And a 2022 study of acute rhinosinusitis symptoms found that while women recovered more quickly than men, women tended to report more severe symptoms earlier in the illness.

Earlier, Voronezh residents were told eight dangerous myths about cystitis.
