The healing power of stable air: how country life strengthens our immune system

In the past, as now, the farm is more than just a place for producing food. It is a place where humans 🧑 and animals 🐄 live in close connection. But that's not all: new scientific findings show that life on the farm and the quality of the air there have a direct influence on our immune system.

In the past, the farm was the center of life. People lived in direct contact with nature 🌿 and the animals that looked after them. Today, the image of the farm has changed, but its importance for our health has remained. Modern technologies have taken hold, making work easier and contributing to efficiency. But even in the midst of this development, the basic essence of rural life remains intact.

The air in the countryside, especially in the stables, has a special quality. Studies show that it is free of many pollutants compared to urban air. This "farm effect" has positive effects on our immune system. Microbial and plant substances in the stable air as well as endotoxins released by bacteria act like a natural sedative on our immune system. This helps to control inflammatory reactions in the body and balance the immune system.

Contact with animals 🐖 and freedom of movement on the farm also play an important role. Children 👶 who grow up on a farm and come into contact with a variety of germs have been shown to have stronger immune systems and fewer allergic diseases. Regular stays on the farm can also be a natural form of immunotherapy for adults.

Overall, research shows that life on the farm and contact with nature play a crucial role in our health. The healing power of the barn air and the natural resources of country life are a gift to be cherished. Perhaps it is time to treat yourself to a break in the country more often and experience the healing effects of nature.

Life on the farm strengthens the immune system and brings you back to nature. 🌿🐄
