The immune system can help resist and destroy bacteria and viruses that invade the human body, and play a vital role in ensuring the health of the body. However, if immunity is reduced, it is unable to produce sufficient resistance to invading pathogens, resulting in the body being susceptible to infection with diseases.
If there are frequent problems such as lack of energy, physical weakness, loss of appetite, sleep disorders, and easy to catch colds, it is necessary to be vigilant that the body may have a decline in immunity.
Generally speaking, the reasons for the decline in immunity are mainly long-term staying up late, lack of exercise, unbalanced diet and several aspects, let's take a closer look at it.
1. Stay up late for a long time
Many young friends like to live the nightlife, often stay up late to cook dramas, play mobile phones, play games, for them, midnight is simply the highlight time of the day.
However, regular staying up late will lead to lack of sleep, low sleep quality, and then cause problems such as decreased immunity and endocrine disorders, which will bring great harm to physical health.
If you want to improve immunity, you must first change the bad habit of staying up late for a long time, avoid unnecessary staying up late, and the late stay-up family may wish to set an alarm clock to remind themselves to shut down and sleep on time.
Try to fall asleep before 11 o'clock every day, so as to ensure adequate sleep for about 8 hours, so that the body has enough time to rest and recover to the best state.
2. Lack of exercise
Many office workers sit still for a long time, and after work, they also like to stay at home, when the sofa family, rarely go out to participate in outdoor activities or physical exercise. In the long run, problems such as obesity, muscle mass reduction, and decreased immunity have come to the door.
Therefore, in ordinary life, we must maintain a sufficient amount of exercise, friends who do not have the conditions or do not want to go to the gym, you can also do more simple exercises, such as walking, jogging, jumping rope, etc. The difficulty of sports is often more conducive to long-term persistence. Exercise frequency is recommended to be maintained at 30 to 60 minutes five days a week.
In addition, after exercise, we should pay attention to timely replenishment of water to help improve the body's blood circulation, promote metabolism, and improve the ability of the immune system to resist diseases.
3. Unbalanced diet
Poor eating habits can lead to a lack of certain nutrients in the body, causing a decrease in immunity. For example, in order to lose weight, some female friends are mainly vegetables and fruits for three meals a day, and insufficient intake of meat, eggs, milk and starchy foods often leads to low immunity.
Because protein is an important substance involved in the immune response, insufficient intake will itself affect the body's immune ability. Coupled with the insufficient intake of starchy staple foods, the body can only consume protein in order to maintain the energy supply, which further aggravates the problem of protein deficiency.
In turn, every meal of big fish and big meat is also not conducive to the normal function of the immune system. Too much protein intake can cause elevated urea levels, and too much urea can inhibit the action of immune cells against germs.
Therefore, in daily life, we must ensure a balanced diet, intake of sufficient vitamins, high-quality protein, dietary fiber, but also eat on time, in order to maintain the balance of the intestinal flora, enhance the function of the immune system.
The bad living habits that lead to the decline of immunity mainly include long-term staying up late, lack of exercise, and unbalanced diet, so in daily life, pay attention to maintaining adequate sleep, regular exercise, and balanced diet, which can effectively enhance the body's immunity and make the body healthier.
