In life, there is always such a type of people who have poor physical fitness and always get sick every few days. Once they get sick, it is difficult to recover. is right! This is a manifestation of reduced immunity, and the following is a detailed introduction.
These 5 symptoms require attention to immunity Immunity is the body's own defense mechanism, the body's ability to fight external pathogenic factors, reflecting the quality of physical fitness. Low immunity can easily lead to infections of various bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc., and over time, it may induce major diseases.
1. The wound recovers slowly and is prone to inflammation
After accidentally scratched, the immunity in the ordinary human body will react quickly to promote coagulation, and white blood cells gather to fight bacteria outside the human body to avoid inflammation.
However, people with poor immunity may experience slow wound healing and still have no scabs in two or three days, and some may have problems such as inflammation and ulceration in the wound.
2. It is easy to sweat for no reason
Compared with others, people who are prone to sweat for no matter what weather it is, they may have poor immunity. Moreover, this type of people are prone to night sweats and poor sleep quality.
3. Prone to diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort
The human gastrointestinal mucosa is also a line of defense for the immune system. When you go out to eat, the food may be unhygienic. Some people are fine after eating, but some people will vomit and have diarrhea, which also means that their immunity is relatively weak.
4. Frequent illness, repeated repeated
I catch a cold, fever, and throat discomfort every now and then, and it takes a long time to recover after getting sick, which also shows that my immunity may be relatively poor.
5. Listeningly, I always feel tired
When the human immune system is not sound enough, the human body is prone to fatigue, mental loss and other problems.
These behaviors will "weak" immunity
Immunity is innate, but it is also affected by many factors. The following unhealthy lifestyles are risk factors that reduce human immunity.
1. Lack of sleep
Long-term lack of sleep and poor quality can inhibit the immune response, resulting in a decrease in the number or activity of immune cells .
2. Don’t like to exercise
Exercise can stimulate the immune system and enhance the function of the immune system. Sitting for a long time will lead to a comprehensive decline in physical fitness. Even if you only exercise for a few minutes, your immune function can change well, but the maintenance time is relatively short. Generally speaking, ensuring regular exercise for 20 to 40 minutes a day can fully mobilize the body's immunity and maintain a good immune state for a long time.
3. Overworking
Working continuously, the body does not get enough rest, which will also affect the endocrine system and immune system, causing a decrease in immunity.
4. Don’t like to drink water
Drinking water fully can keep the respiratory mucosa moist, making it difficult for cold viruses to reproduce quickly and enhance immunity.
5. Passive smoking
Passive smoking is as harmful to whole body health and reduces immunity.
6. Malnutrition
Immune cells need to produce and perform their functions protein , fat, sugar, vitamins, trace elements and other nutrients. When the nutrients are insufficient, immune organ is damaged, and the production of immune cells and immune molecules is reduced, resulting in weakening of immunity.
7. Suppress emotions
Bad emotions can disrupt brain function, cause disorders in the body's environment, and thus lead to the occurrence of diseases.
8. Abuse of antibiotics
Abuse of antibiotics may destroy innate immunity in the intestinal tract, which is also the cause of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection.
How do traditional Chinese medicine regulate immunity?
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, the role of maintaining human functional activities and resisting and eliminating various harmful factors is attributed to "positive energy".
The strength or weakness of positive energy determines the human body's ability to fight external pathogenic factors.
As early as " Huangdi Neijing " more than two thousand years ago, it pointed out that "the positive energy is stored, and evil cannot be dealt with" and "the spirit is kept in the inner world, and the disease will never be safe."
and low immunity, most of which can be classified as weak positive energy. Weakness of positive energy is mainly caused by excessive application and lack of application of the body and internal organs. At this time, the human body is manifested as a decrease in the ability to regulate changes in internal and external factors.
But not all low immunity is due to "deficiency". Some evidences can also lead to a decrease in the human body's immune ability, such as poor diet, irritability and sorrow, too much thought, lack of correct knowledge and self-confidence, and it is easy to intertwin with external evils, leading to the occurrence of diseases.
Therefore, when problems such as low immunity occur, in addition to changing the bad habits that harm immunity, we must also actively seek medical treatment and treat syndrome differentiation rather than just taking supplements.
