How to improve men's immunity?

Usually, many male friends spend a lot of time sitting in the office facing high-intensity work, and sometimes they often stay up late to work overtime. If this continues for a long time, the body's immune ability of many male friends will be greatly reduced, and it is easy to get many diseases. In fact, it is best to improve the body's immunity through some effective methods. Let us learn about some effective ways to improve immunity.

In fact, most human diseases are related to immunity. In addition to cancer, common autoimmune diseases include endocrine autoimmune diseases, systemic rheumatism, blood immune diseases, skin immune diseases, digestive system immune diseases and kidney immune diseases. For example, leukemia, which makes people "turn pale at the mention of disease", is a type of blood immune disease.

So, how can we improve the body's own immunity? In this regard, the World Health Organization summarized a healthy lifestyle in four sentences, namely, a reasonable diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol, and psychological balance. Studies have shown that this healthy lifestyle can reduce high blood pressure by 55%, stroke by 75%, diabetes by 50%, tumors by one third, and extend average life expectancy by more than 10 years.

People who usually pay attention to health have done a lot of research on this healthy lifestyle. For example, there is a saying of "one, two, three, four, five; red, yellow, green, white, black" for a reasonable diet. The specific method is as detailed as drinking a bag of milk every day, supplementing carbohydrates, high protein, vitamin A, vegetables, fruits, etc. in moderation, and making sure that the food is refined, not sweet or salty, and that you eat three, four, or five times a day until you are 70% full. Of course, you need to eat less frozen, raw, or cold foods.

In addition, maintain a moderate amount of exercise, the best of which are walking and Tai Chi; insist on quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption. If you really can't quit, do not smoke more than 5 cigarettes a day and the alcohol content in each meal should not exceed 15 grams; maintain mental balance, its effect can exceed the sum of all health care measures, and being open-minded, easy-going, and kind-hearted are naturally indispensable.

Some experts say that people need to pay special attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and improving the body's own immunity, so as to reduce the harm of diseases to the human body.

Nutritional balance

Eat more protein. Protein is the material basis of the body's immune defense function. You should eat more protein-rich foods on a daily basis, such as lean meat, milk, fish, shrimp, and beans.

Drink more tea. A chemical called "theanine" in tea leaves can increase the body's ability to resist infection by five times. Theanine can also mobilize the body's immune cells to resist viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

Supplement vitamins. Vitamin C can inhibit the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the diet, promote antibody formation, enhance the phagocytic function of white blood cells, and enhance the body's resistance. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing a lot of vitamin C, such as strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots. Vitamin A has a protective effect on the respiratory and gastrointestinal mucosa. Lack of vitamin A will reduce the body's antibody response, leading to a decrease in immune function, and bacteria, viruses, etc. will take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Supplementing vitamin A from food is a safe and effective health care method. Eating more carrots can enhance immunity. The reasonable way to eat carrots is to fry or stew them with sufficient oil.

Eat some animal liver. Animal liver is rich in many substances that help promote immune function, such as folic acid, selenium, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, B6, B12, etc. Wheat bran contains magnesium, zinc, and selenium that can enhance immune function, and wheat bran can be added to cereal foods. Seafood also contains iron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, copper and other minerals that help promote immune function.

For male friends who are busy at work, they may often forget to drink water, which is also a major reason for the decline in resistance. Drinking more water can enhance the body's metabolic ability and help the body to quickly excrete a large amount of toxins, garbage and other substances, thereby enhancing the body's immunity to a certain extent.
