With the flu raging, are your immune cell troops ready to go?

As the winter cold intensifies, the influenza virus has quietly triggered a public health challenge across the country. According to the latest data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the detection rate of influenza virus continues to rise. The current influenza virus positive rate in outpatient and emergency departments has reached 35% (this data is for example, please refer to the latest official release), and the proportion of severe cases caused by influenza in hospitalized cases is close to 20%. As a result, major tertiary hospitals have fallen into an unprecedented busy state. Influenza, the "winter killer", is seriously threatening public health.

In this battle with the flu virus, people's health conditions have been significantly differentiated. Some people are unfortunately infected and suffer from symptoms such as high fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches; while others can get through it safely. The key behind this is our own immune system. The immune system is like a loyal guardian of our body, always protecting us from diseases, and immune cells are the elite among these guardians. They have clear division of labor. Some are like "cleaners", patrolling all parts of the body to remove potential pathogens; some are like "scouts", once they find a virus invading, they will quickly launch an attack; and some are like "snipers", accurately attacking cells infected by the virus to prevent the virus from spreading in the body.

However, as we age, our immune cells will gradually "age", just like an army that has experienced war, the soldiers will gradually become tired and old, and their combat effectiveness will decline. Studies have shown that after the age of 40, the number and function of immune cells in the human body will decrease significantly, which is why middle-aged and elderly people are more susceptible to influenza and their condition is often more serious. Therefore, regular immune testing becomes particularly important. Through immune testing, we can understand our immune status early and discover potential immune deficiencies, thereby providing a scientific basis for the development of personalized health management plans and disease prevention strategies. Just like monitoring the body's "health dashboard", regular immune testing can help us understand the health of the immune system in a timely manner so that targeted intervention measures can be taken to adjust it when necessary.

Facing the threat of influenza, how can we strengthen our immune defenses? Supplementing immune cells is an effective option. Scientific research shows that timely replenishing high-quality, vibrant immune cells into the body can significantly enhance the body's immunity and effectively fight against viral invasion. This is like injecting fresh blood into a tired army, rejuvenating them.

In addition to replenishing immune cells, comprehensive preventive measures are also indispensable. Maintaining good personal hygiene habits is the basis. Washing hands frequently and using soap and water to clean hands carefully can effectively reduce the spread of germs. A balanced diet, moderate exercise and adequate rest are also important means to enhance immunity. They can help immune cells maintain a good state and better perform their duties to protect the body.

Immune cells eating bacteria

It is worth noting that the symptoms of influenza, such as high fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches, are not manifestations of worsening of the disease, but rather "battlefield traces" of fierce battles between immune cells and viruses. Fever is a "high temperature tactic" adopted by the body to repel the virus, which inhibits the replication of the virus and enhances the activity of immune cells by raising the body temperature. Symptoms such as cough, sore throat and muscle aches are also manifestations of the immune system's full-scale response.

Although influenza is fierce, as long as we build a strong immune defense line, we can have an advantage in this battle. Let us work together to take responsibility for the health of ourselves and our families. Through scientific diet, moderate exercise, regular work and rest, immune cell therapy and regular immune testing, influenza will no longer be a threat in winter. Regular immune testing and early understanding of one's own immune status are not only responsible for one's own health, but also a care and contribution to one's family and society.
