What are some ways to improve immunity for cancer patients?

Studies have shown that the prognosis of cancer patients is closely related to their own immunity. The better the immunity, the better the treatment effect and the longer the survival period. So, for cancer patients, what are the ways to improve immunity?

Cancer patients have low immunity

Cancer is extremely harmful to human health. It is a chronic wasting disease. Late-stage cancer can cause malignant transformation and lead to different clinical symptoms such as low immunity, anemia, fever, etc. Cancer cells can multiply infinitely in the human body, consuming a lot of energy and making the body gradually lose weight.

To the human body, cancer cells are abnormal cells, and the body automatically rejects them. After being activated, the lymphocytes of the immune system try every means to eliminate them, but the tenacious survival ability of cancer cells makes lymphocytes helpless. Instead, the number of lymphocytes decreases, and the external manifestation is that the immunity is getting lower and lower. In general, from clinical cases, cancer patients often do not die from cancer in the end, but from some common infections that accompany them, which eventually evolve into other concurrent malignant and fatal diseases.

The most direct manifestation of low immunity is susceptibility to illness. There are various bacteria and viruses in the external environment, but the human body also has corresponding defense mechanisms that can maintain the body's health to a certain extent. However, cancer patients themselves have low immunity. If it is further reduced, it will naturally be difficult for the body to exert its normal defense function, increase the risk of various diseases, further consume the body's energy, and affect the recovery process.

In addition, another consequence of low immunity in cancer patients is that it increases the psychological burden. On the one hand, the human body is an organic whole, and the physiological and psychological functions of patients naturally influence and restrict each other. When there are physiological problems, mental health cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, low immunity in patients is also accompanied by complications such as fatigue, decreased appetite, and sleep disorders, which leads to a decline in their quality of life. This makes it easy for them to have wild thoughts and even aggravate negative emotions such as depression and despair.

How to improve immunity for cancer patients

1. Sleep. Good sleep can significantly increase the number of lymphocytes in the human body. During sleep, the human body produces a sleep factor called muramic acid, which promotes the increase of white blood cells, the activation of macrophages, and the enhancement of the liver's detoxification function, thereby eliminating invading bacteria and viruses.

2. Stay optimistic. An optimistic attitude can keep the human body in the best condition, especially in today's society, where people face great pressure. The huge psychological pressure will lead to an increase in hormones that inhibit the human immune system, making it easy to be attacked by colds or other diseases. Cancer patients should maintain a good attitude, actively cooperate with doctors, follow doctor's advice, and strive for recovery.

3. Limit alcohol consumption. Do not drink more than 100 ml of low-alcohol liquor, 250 ml of rice wine, or one bottle of beer every day. Even for health-preserving wine, the amount should be controlled because alcohol has a negative impact on every part of the human body. For example, some people drink wine for health preservation to lower cholesterol, but excessive drinking can still cause great damage to organs such as the spleen and heart. Cancer patients are advised to avoid drinking as much as possible.

4. Participate in sports and take vitamin supplements. Studies have shown that after 30 to 45 minutes of exercise every day, 5 days a week, for 12 weeks, the number of immune cells will increase and the resistance will also increase relatively. Exercise only needs to speed up the heartbeat, and a walk after dinner is very suitable for patients. In addition, take vitamins and minerals appropriately every day, but be sure to take them according to the doctor's advice. Abuse will only have a counterproductive effect, which will lead to the deterioration of the disease.

5. Take some Chinese medicine that can improve immunity. Clinically, effective Chinese medicine can improve immunity. Chinese medicine says "when the positive energy is inside, the evil cannot enter". Here, "positive energy" refers to the body's ability to resist disease, which is equivalent to the human immunity in Western medicine. The occurrence and development of tumor diseases is in a sense caused by the "lack of positive energy" in the human body. It is an internal cause and a decisive factor. As for the difficult problem of "exorcising evil and supporting the positive" to improve the human immunity of tumor patients, the non-drug therapy of traditional Chinese medicine has its "uniqueness". Its methods are simple, low-cost, widely used, effective, and non-toxic and side effects, which meet the overall needs of health concepts.

Tail:

At present, the incidence and mortality of cancer are both rising. Human immunity is the best medicine for preventing and treating diseases, no doubt about it! This is also true for cancer patients. In fact, the occurrence of cancer is closely related to the body's immunity. The lower the immunity, the higher the risk of cancer and the worse the prognosis. I hope everyone will take care of their bodies, do more things that are conducive to improving immunity, and do less or no things that damage immunity. Only in this way can we have a healthy body to work happily and live happily.
