Low immunity is the most common problem for tumor patients and is also a headache. When the immunity is low, the patient will be unable to tolerate subsequent treatment, the pain will intensify, and the quality of life will be reduced. In severe cases, it will directly threaten the patient's life!
How can you find out if your immune level is low? Is the higher the immunity, the better? How can tumor patients improve their immunity? You may be able to understand after reading this article!
Is the higher the immunity, the better?
People generally believe that the stronger the immunity, the better the tumor treatment effect. But in fact, in some types of cancer immunotherapy, some patients with stronger immunity have lower response rates, and a stronger immune system may hinder immunotherapy .
Another study found that tumor cells in patients with strong immunity do not show their own antigen mutations at the beginning, and the main histocompatibility complex cannot transmit a signal to the immune system to "clear cancer cells", so the immunotherapy of tumors will be restricted.
Therefore, is too high or too low to cause immune damage, which is not good for the human body. Only moderate immunity is the most beneficial to the human body.
Immunity is on the decline, and these 4 symptoms will occur.
Frequent colds
People with low immunity are susceptible to virus attacks, and colds have become commonplace. Sometimes they may get a little cold or a little breeze and get a cold and fever. And it’s also a cold, and it always recovers slowly than others.
Wounds are difficult to heal
Usually, a certain part of the body is accidentally scratched. Normal people can heal and recover within a few days, but people with low immunity are prone to infection in the wound, which leads to redness, swollenness, and pus healing slowly.
easy fatigue
Tumor patients themselves will have cancer fatigue, which is easily confused with fatigue caused by low immunity. When abnormal fatigue occurs, attention should be paid. In this case, going to the hospital for examination generally will not detect organic lesions or other abnormalities.
1Gastric ingestion function
Home immunologic patients often have poor gastrointestinal function, mainly manifested as indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, etc., and even vomiting and diarrhea for unknown reasons!
How to effectively improve immunity?
During the treatment process, the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs, radioactive radiation, major surgical trauma, psychological stress, anxiety, etc. will affect the body's immune function and cause a decrease in immunity. So, what are the methods to improve immunity?
01 Reasonable diet
The ancients said, "Before the troops move, food and grass will go first." The immune system is like the "army" in the human body, and "food and grass" are nutrients. It is usually guaranteed to maintain a balanced nutritional intake, which helps strengthen physical fitness and resist the invasion of bacteria and viruses.
ensures the intake of protein . protein can not only provide raw materials for the regeneration and repair of immune cells , antibodies and mucosal tissues, but also work in concert with carbohydrate to promote the body's repair. It is recommended to consume high-quality protein foods such as lean meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, soybeans, etc. every day, and try to ensure 1 egg, 300 grams of milk and dairy products per day.
Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. recommends taking more than 500 grams of vegetables and 200-350 grams of fruits per day. fresh dates , kiwi fruit , cherry tomato , strawberry , citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and can assist the immune system in working efficiently.
Hot water is sufficient to promote metabolism. The daily water consumption of should be between 1500-2000 ml, and a small amount of multiple times. It is recommended to drink boiled water or light tea, and not drink or drink less sugary beverages.
02 ensures adequate sleep
1 When sleeping, the human body will produce sleep factors. This factor promotes leukocytes in , macrophages are active, and the liver detoxification function is enhanced, thereby eliminating invading bacteria and viruses. From 11 pm to 3 pm is the sleeping period for people, and they must ensure 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day.
03Adjust exercise
Adjust exercise is a good way to improve immunity. Squats, push-ups, sit-ups, Baduan Jin , Tai Chi , brisk walking , jogging, etc. are all good choices. However, improving immunity through exercise is not "sharpening the gun in the face of battle, and it is not fast enough to shine." It requires continuous exercise for 12 weeks before the number of immune cells will begin to increase.
But don’t exercise vigorously. Severe exercise will reduce the body’s resistance within 72 hours, increasing the risk of infection by 41%.
04 Maintain a good mentality
Negative emotions such as stress and depression can promote the secretion of adrenal corticosteroid , resulting in a decrease in immunity. Abdominal breathing can regulate the human autonomic nerves and is a good way to overcome negative emotions.
Abdominal breathing method
Both feet are open, the knee joint is slightly bent, and the hands are placed on the abdomen. When you inhale, your abdomen bulges, just like smelling the fragrance of flowers with your nose. When exhale, retract your abdomen and slowly exhale with a mouth shape like a candle. Practice for 6 minutes every morning, noon and evening.
