immunity
In fact, our bodies will be attacked by diseases. The two main reasons are low body temperature and less exercise.
white blood cells can be said to be the center of immune system . Once the body temperature rises, its greedy and bactericidal ability will become active.
When you have a cold or have poor physical condition, you often have fever symptoms . This is because the body's immune army is in a state of fighting, that is, the body is increasing the body temperature so that the white blood cell's immune effect can be fully activated.
Modern people's immunity is weaker than before
Body temperature rises by 1 degree C more than the normal value, and immunity will instantly increase by 5 to 6 times; on the contrary, once the body temperature drops, the activity of the white blood cells will become slow, causing the immunity to be depressed.
From research, when the body temperature drops by , immunity will drop by more than 30% . The body temperature of modern people is getting lower and lower. The average body temperature of Japanese people 50 years ago was 36.8 degrees C, but now it has dropped to at most 36.2~36.3 degrees C, while most people's body temperature is actually only 35 degrees. In other words, modern people have reduced their body temperature by nearly 1 degree C compared to previous people, which means that their immunity has also decreased by more than 30%.
In addition, it is generally believed that cancer cells are most likely to reproduce in an environment of 35 degrees C. Once the body temperature is above 39.3 degrees C, it will apoptosis. Perhaps this can explain why modern people with mostly 35 degrees C have cancer so easily.
Low body temperature is the cause of all major and minor diseases.
Once the body temperature drops and the immunity is low, various other diseases besides cancer will also easily occur. Discomfort symptoms that will occur as soon as the body temperature drops:
- Pain
Headache, low back pain, neuralgia and other pains, many of which are caused by body cold . If the pain part will feel hot, the body will find a way to heat up so that the blood circulation smoothly to cure the evidence of the pain.
- Cold
The English word for cold is "COLD". As the literal meaning, a cold is caused by cold body. If you get a cold or bronchitis, you will get a fever, which is to protect the cold body.
- Constipation and swelling
The stomach is too cold, which will slow the operation of the stomach and intestines and cause constipation, and will also make the excretion of urine and sweat worse, so water and excretion accumulate in the body, which can easily cause swelling of the body.
- Mental disease
Mental disease patients who commit suicide due to depression are mostly cold areas. From this, it can be seen that depression is related to cold body.
Two major reasons why immunity will decrease:

Life without using muscles causes a decrease in immunity
A big reason for the low body temperature and immunity of modern people. It can be said that it is caused by living a convenient and relaxed life without exercise to the body.
50 years ago, the average body temperature of a person was about 1 degree C higher than now, because when cleaning a house, they would use long dusters, sweepers, and rags to clean them; when washing clothes, they would use a washing board, knock hard, and knock off the stains, and then dry the clothes one by one. Such a way to do housework is to exercise the whole body. Moreover, the transportation in the past was not very developed, and it was very common to go shopping, go to work, class, and do business for a long time.
In today's society, whether it is vacuum cleaner or washing machines, it is very popular. Therefore, even if you don't exercise much, you can still do your housework well. You don't have to sit and sit, and you can use one finger to press the remote control and get everything done.
Therefore, our exercise volume becomes very small and the chances of using muscles are reduced. If we don’t use muscles, what will happen?
The body temperature of the human body is about 40% of the muscles are responsible for the production, and modern people will cause the body temperature to drop because they do not use muscles.
On the contrary, using muscles can increase body temperature. Generally speaking, when the muscles start to sweat slightly when the body starts to sweat slightly, the body temperature will rise by 1 degree C, that is, When our body starts to sweat, our immunity will also increase by 5 to 6 times in an instant.
The muscles in the abdomen and legs have become less.
"Human Body Heater" - Muscle
"Muscle" can produce more than 40% of body temperature and is an important organ of fever. It accounts for about 45% of men and about 36% of women's weight. It can be said to be the largest organ of human beings.
For example, a woman weighing 50 kg will have about 18 kg of muscle in her whole body. Do you know that 70% of the muscles in our body are concentrated in the lower body? Therefore, the less muscles in the abdomen and legs will make the body temperature lower, which will directly cause the immunity to become worse.
"Aging starts from the legs", which means that after a person reaches a certain age, the amount of concentrated in the lower body will decrease, and his immunity will also become worse.
Walking exercise is very effective in improving immunity. Doing exercises to exercise your lower body can help create a healthy body.
The abdomen is warm and the body and mind are healthier.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen is the "center", which means that the abdomen is located at the center of the body, which is an important part of the basic life. You can tell the various conditions of the body by touching your abdomen, and the one that has to be concerned is the fact that your abdomen becomes cold.
"First Center" Cold will make the whole body cold. Even if a person is afraid of heat, if his stomach is cold, it can be considered a "cool-prone constitution". Cold will reduce the body's immunity, but the abdomen will experience chills, which is most likely to significantly reduce the immunity.
This is well-founded because there are about 70% of the lymph node immune organs in the intestine, so the intestine can be said to be the center of human immunity.
In addition, about 90% of serotonin in the body is present in the intestine. Many people should have heard of the term serotonin, which is a nerve conduction substance. It is currently believed that there is a great relationship between serotonin deficiency and depression.
Because immune cells are concentrated in the intestine, the important responsibility for protecting the intestine is to rely on the abdominal muscles. If the abdominal muscles are weak, the intestines will become cold and cold, causing deterioration of immunity and mental health; on the contrary, if the abdominal muscles are strong and the abdomen are warm, the blood circulation of the intestines will be smooth, and the body and mind will become vibrant and energetic.
The immune system is one of the important guarantees for physical health, but the human immune function will decline with age, which is the result of the combined action of multiple factors.
Among them, congenital factors are secondary, and acquired factors are the main ones, including environment, diet, living habits, diseases, etc. Therefore, in daily life, it is particularly important to pay attention to improving one's immunity.
Methods to activate immunity
1, adequate sleep
1 When seasons alternate, urticaria, shingles, etc. are prone to diseases related to decreased immunity caused by high work pressure and insufficient sleep. You must ensure adequate sleep.
Enough sleep must ensure that you recover your energy and be energetic when you wake up. Generally, adults sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day, and the elderly cannot sleep less than 6 hours.
2, Yogurt breakfast
A study by the American Health Association found that yogurt can reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and reduce the risk of urinary tract infection by 47%.
The probiotic contained in certain yogurts can greatly improve the body's immunity and disease resistance.
3. Eat more garlic
Research found that eating garlic regularly not only helps improve immunity, but also helps prevent heart disease. However, patients with gastrointestinal diseases should eat less.
But allicin is prone to evaporation when heated. It is recommended to mash it and leave it for 10 to 15 minutes before eating it, so that substances such as alliin and allizyme interact with each other to improve nutritional value.
4. Regularly drink honey water, ginger water, lemon water
Research shows that antioxidants in honey are boosters to improve immunity; ginger is a natural analgesic and antidote, which has a certain effect on anti-infection; lemons are rich in vitamin C and have antioxidant .
Foods rich in antioxidants and vitamin C can protect the body from free radical and damage from harmful molecules, and promote the health of the immune system.
5, enjoy afternoon tea time
After 3 or 4 pm, the body's energy begins to decline. At this time, drinking a cup of afternoon tea or coffee and eating some snacks can not only replenish calories, but also relieve fatigue after continuous work, and maintain the health of the autoimmune system through self-regulation.

6. Persist in exercise every week
National Library of Medicine A report shows that exercise can help "rinse" the lungs bacteria and improve the immune system's ability to detect diseases.
Modern people have a lot of work pressure, but under normal physical condition, you can exercise for 30 to 60 minutes five days a week.
7, sunbathing more
Maintaining high levels of vitamin D in the body can better prevent problems such as throat pain, common colds and nasal congestion.
Generally speaking, the ultraviolet rays in the sun are low at 10 am and 4 pm, which can avoid damage to the skin. Each time the sun is sun-dried, it only takes half an hour.
8. Keep smiling
researchers at Stanford University in the United States found that laughter can increase the number of antibodies and immune cells in the blood and saliva, relieve fatigue, and is a good medicine to improve immunity.
In life, you should have more positive thoughts, divert your attention and relieve stress through exercise, reading, chatting and meditation with friends, etc.
9. Meditation and meditation is an excellent way to enhance immunity
Meditation and meditation can strengthen the body and mind at the same time - strengthen psychological immune system , enhance psychological resistance, and improve the body's immune system.
For the body: Since the lower body is clotted, the blood supply from the heart to the upper body will increase, so you can feel clear-headed in a short time. More importantly, due to the increase in blood supply, the qi and blood circulation in the upper body will be significantly improved, which is reflected in the comprehensive improvement of cold resistance, respiratory system, spinal , and immune system.
For psychology: While meditating, take back your mind, guard yourself, adjust the rhythm of your breathing, feel your breathing becoming longer, and feel the heat in your body. Then you restore your perception and make your body more sensitive, know the cold and hot, and react immediately if you feel uncomfortable. When a little Fengxue comes in, the pores on the skin of the body can shrink. People who don’t realize that they open the door and let all the enemies come in. They feel that they hiccup , hiccup , fart, spit, and expel cold air are all major manifestations of enhancing immunity.
