These 4 signs in your body remind you that your immunity has declined!

Immunity is like the body's "guard", helping us to resist various pathogens from the outside world. However, with the increasing pressure of life, many people's immunity is quietly declining. Today, let's talk about several signs of declining immunity and how to improve immunity through small changes in daily life.

Four signs of weakened immunity

1. Frequent infection, becoming a "susceptible population"

Have you ever had this experience: you catch a cold and cough when the people around you make a slight noise? Or have you been paying attention to keeping warm and exercising, but still frequently suffer from respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections and other problems?

These are actually manifestations of low immunity. When our immune system cannot effectively resist the invasion of pathogens, the body will become extremely vulnerable and become a "susceptible population" to various infections.

2. Feeling tired and weak, always feeling “low battery”

****The immune system consumes a lot of energy in the process of maintaining normal operation. Therefore, when the immune system is low, we will feel tired and weak, and always lack energy . This feeling of fatigue may not be due to lack of sleep or overwork, but the immune system is sending us a signal: it needs help and support.

3. Prone to allergies, becoming an "allergic constitution"

****Under normal circumstances, our immune system can distinguish between our own substances and foreign substances well, thus avoiding allergic reactions. However, when the immune system is low, the immune system may become "suspicious" and overreact to certain harmless substances, leading to frequent allergies. For example, itchy skin, eczema, asthma and other problems may all be manifestations of low immunity.

4. Tumors are prone to grow, and the body lights up a "red light"

The immune system plays a key role in preventing and controlling tumors. When the immune system is weakened, the body's ability to monitor tumors is weakened, making tumors more likely to develop. Although this is not a common early sign, if unexplained lumps or other abnormalities occur, you should seek medical attention in time.

How to improve immunity?

1. Maintain normal body temperature

Studies have shown that if the body temperature drops by 1°C, immunity will decrease by 30%. Therefore, maintaining a normal body temperature is crucial to improving immunity. Pay attention to keeping warm, especially when the weather changes, add clothes in time to avoid catching cold.

2. Learn to relieve your stress

Stress can cause the human body to produce an inhibitory factor, which directly affects the normal functioning of immune cells. Learn to cope with stress, relax your mind through meditation, yoga, listening to music, etc., and maintain an optimistic attitude.

3. Move every day

Studies have shown that just 10 minutes of exercise can increase the number of immune cells in the blood. Whether it is walking, dancing, doing Tai Chi or doing housework, maintaining a certain amount of exercise every day is very helpful in improving immunity.

4. Ensure high-quality sleep

High-quality sleep can promote the body to produce more sleep factors, increase the number of white blood cells, and enhance the liver's detoxification ability. Adults should ensure 7-9 hours of sleep every night and try to avoid staying up late.

5. Reasonable use of probiotics

Probiotics can help regulate the balance of intestinal flora, promote the body to produce a variety of antibodies, and enhance immunity. You can increase the intake of probiotics by eating yogurt, fermented foods, or supplementing with probiotic preparations.

6. Supplement vitamins and minerals

Vitamins and minerals have an important impact on the number and activity of immune cells. In your daily diet, you should consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, especially foods rich in vitamin C and vitamin E.

7. Eat some rice with codonopsis and red dates

Red dates and Codonopsis pilosula are both traditional Chinese medicinal materials that have the effect of replenishing qi and blood. You can soak 10 red dates and 5 grams of Codonopsis pilosula, boil for 30 minutes, remove them, keep the soup, add sugar and boil into a sticky juice. Steam 200 grams of glutinous rice, put red dates on it after steaming, and pour the soup on it. This ginseng and jujube rice is not only delicious, but also can strengthen the spleen and qi and improve immunity.

8. Massage Tanzhong and Zusanli points

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that proper massage of specific acupoints can improve immunity. Tanzhong acupoint is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples, and can be gently tapped with the base of the palm. Zusanli is located on the front and outer side of the lower leg, 3 inches below the outer knee, and one horizontal finger (middle finger) away from the tibia. Massage can replenish yang and qi and strengthen physical fitness.
