“improving immunity can keep away from disease!” This is the first impression that most people have of immunity. While modern people pay more attention to their own health, many businesses recognize people’s mentality and vigorously publicize the so-called commodities with the effect of “enhancing immunity”. Royal jelly, cod liver oil, amino acids… All kinds of health products can double their value as long as they are linked with immunity. In this regard, authoritative experts suggest that immunity is not the higher the better.
misunderstanding 1:
the stronger the immunity, the better. Hong Zhaoguang said that immunity is like blood pressure and blood sugar. Low blood pressure is not a good thing. It is easy to cause bacterial and viral infection, but too high is also a disease and harmful to the human body. The immune response is too strong and destructive, and it is also prone to autoimmune diseases such as lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid. Therefore, good immunity is in a balanced state and should have good self-regulation ability.
misunderstanding 2:
immunity is resistance. Professor Hong Zhaoguang introduced: resistance includes immunity, rejection ability, repair ability (healing and regeneration ability), and immunity is only one of them. In short, the scope of resistance is larger. Therefore, the words of drugstore salesmen that “enhancing immunity can improve resistance” are not completely correct.
misunderstanding 3:
the elderly and sub-health people need medication or health products to enhance immunity. If not necessary, drug abuse should be resolutely opposed, because drugs interfere most with the immune system. In particular, we should oppose the arbitrary use of hormone drugs and the abuse of immunoglobulin. For some health products that claim to enhance immune function, there is no measurement standard, no evidence-based medicine support, and it is not necessary to take them.
misunderstanding 4:
infant immune system is not well developed and needs special protection in daily life. Under the excessive protection of parents, children’s immune system becomes weak and vulnerable, which is very unfavorable to their growth. Therefore, the army in the body should refuse to “treat the superior” and only continuous stimulation can improve its combat effectiveness.
immunity is the “army” hidden in the body
the body is like a battlefield. Invisible “war” occurs in the body every day, but you don’t know it most of the time because the “human army” is in an absolute advantage. However, when your body temperature rises, your whole body is sore, your nose is full of tears, and you are in great pain, it indicates that there are some problems in the “army” in your body, and the enemy such as disease will take advantage of the weak point and hurt your strength.
this “army” hidden in the human body is the immune system, which includes immune organs such as bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymph nodes and tonsils. Under normal circumstances, the human immune system will be consistent with the outside world, bravely kill the enemy, gain war experience, and constantly protect the “peace” in our body day and night. But sometimes, there are internal problems in the autoimmune system: “investigators” sometimes neglect their duties, “traitors” appear in the army “and” infighting “occur, which makes people lose the battle.
keeps the immune system in balance
generally, everyone’s immune system is in a state of balance. Only when children have repeated colds, pneumonia or diarrhea, and adults have unexplained rashes, long-term fever, joint swelling and pain and other symptoms, do they need to go to the hospital for examination. Children don’t have to be too clean. The immune system has a “good memory” and will form an immune memory for infectious pathogens. If you encounter the same bacteria next time, you can quickly eliminate them. If the child’s surrounding environment is too clean, it will reduce the chance of infection and antibody production, but the resistance will be weakened.
although the immune system of young and middle-aged people is very strong, they are easily disturbed by bad emotions and pressure. Once you find yourself feeling unwell, you should start with the most basic sleep and diet. Good sleep can increase white blood cells in the body and enhance the detoxification function of the liver, so as to eliminate the invading bacteria and viruses. Keeping an optimistic mood helps to improve immunity. Stress inhibits the immune system and makes the human body attacked by colds or other diseases.
