Antibiotics are generally used to reduce bacterial infections and prevent the growth of bacteria. Whenever a person has the flu or a virus, antibiotics are also given in addition to normal medications. But recent research has revealed its serious side effects.
In fact, researchers from the National University Hospital in Seoul, South Korea, said that prolonged use of antibiotics can cause a serious brain disease (Parkinson’s disease). Let us explain how antibiotics can affect your brain.
Researchers from Seoul National University Hospital conducted research on 298,379 people aged 40 and over. Among those who took antibiotics for 1 year, the study found that the risk of Parkinson’s disease increased by 29% in those who took antibiotics for more than 121 days and in those who took them for 121 days or more. of Parkinson’s disease increased by 37 percent.
Experts believe that antibiotics should be used with great caution only on expert advice and antibiotics should not be taken for a long time. You can reduce the flu or common virus with natural medications. Excessive consumption of antibiotics can have a negative impact on overall health, especially in the elderly or children. Antibiotics should only be administered after expert consultation.
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that negatively affects our overall health. Common symptoms include hand tremors, muscle stiffness and problems maintaining balance.
In fact, this is due to the lack of a chemical called dopamine in the brain, which controls the movement of muscles. Research has also shown that antibiotic use can lead to changes in the gut microbiota.
