Let's briefly review yesterday's class.
The first line of defense is the peripheral barrier of the body, which consists of skin and all mucosal tissues. It has innate defense function, which everyone has, including the unique defense function of our respiratory mucosa, digestive tract mucosa and skin!
The second line of defense, composed of bactericidal substances and phagocytes in body fluids, also belongs to innate immunity. In general, everyone has it!
The third line of defense consists of immune organs and immune cells, also called specific immunity and acquired immunity! Here are some simple explanations for your understanding.
When a special pathogen enters the human body, it will stimulate our lymph. When lymphocytes come into contact with the protein characteristics on the surface of pathogens, that is, the so-called antigens, they will initiate specific immunity and thus produce antibodies. Antibodies can make pathogens lose their medical records, identify enemies more clearly, let phagocytes lock their targets and win the battle for us!
A certain antibody only works on a certain virus and bacteria. If the virus mutates or evolves, which is different from the original structure, then the original antibody is invalid for it! This is why it is called specific immunity.
So let's talk about it in detail. What methods can be used to strengthen these three immune defense lines respectively?
The first line of defense is to improve skin function and mucosal tissue!
Let's talk about how to improve the function of skin. The skin is the largest organ of the human body. If a person's skin structure is complete, the skin membrane is healthy, and the ecological environment on the skin is good and intact, then the skin function of this person is complete, which also shows that this immune defense line is very effective!
But if your skin is often dry, itchy, damaged, the cell membrane is not healthy enough, there are papules, spots, eczema, allergies, etc ..., it means that your skin function is very unhealthy, giving pathogens an opportunity to invade at any time!
So how to repair and strengthen skin function?
First, in the diet, we must eat more foods containing high-quality protein, as well as high-quality oils, such as eggs, various beans, fish, high-quality olive oil, linseed oil, coconut oil and so on. ...
Because the raw material of any nuclear tissue in the body is protein, when the tissue is damaged, the body needs raw materials to repair it. Of course, we should increase the intake of protein, increase the number of skin cells and improve the skin structure as soon as possible!
Oil is the main raw material of cell membrane and skin membrane. Without high-quality fat, all tissues in the body will not be intact and healthy, and the membrane tissue is not intact and healthy enough, so bacteria and viruses can easily enter the interior through the skin, causing a series of lesions and injuries!
Under the condition of ensuring protein and high-quality fat, extra fat-soluble nutrients such as vitamin A or carotenoids and vitamin E can better help fat absorption, protect and strengthen membrane tissue!
In addition, in the care of the skin, we must not over-clean, especially for ladies. We should reduce the number of baths, especially the use of shower gel. The reason was mentioned in yesterday's class!
In addition, after each bath, or at ordinary times, get into the habit of applying coconut oil and oil, which can protect the skin structure well and is a good barrier to use.
Next, talk about mucosal tissue. If you cough frequently, it means that you have chronic pharyngitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, gastritis, enteritis, vaginitis, adnexitis, etc ..., which means that your mucosal tissue is definitely unhealthy.
Mucosal tissue is not healthy enough, so bacteria and viruses can easily enter your respiratory tract, digestive tract, and then blood, endangering core tissue!
For the repair of mucosal tissue, the most important materials are vitamin A, protein and high-quality fat!
High-quality fat can lubricate our mucosal tissue and avoid the drying of mucosal cells. Once the mucosal cells are dry, they are easy to produce dead cells, which will provide nutrients for bacteria and viruses and help them multiply rapidly, so the mucosal tissue must be kept moist for a long time!
Vitamin A or carotenoid is the raw material for repairing mucosal tissue, which can help clean up necrotic cells, dredge microvessels and help transport nutrients!
If your skin function and mucous membrane function are healthy, it means that the country's border defense is perfect and it is difficult for ordinary enemies to break through. Even if it is accidentally broken, the guards and troops at the border can dispatch troops in time and drive the enemy out as soon as possible! With a little rectification and repair, we will soon return to a state of peace and security!
Write it down and talk about how to strengthen the second line of defense of immunity.
For example, when eating, oral saliva will secrete lysozyme, which can help to destroy some bacteria, so try to chew slowly when eating, in addition to better helping food decompose and digest, it can also help to destroy bacteria! Reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract!
There is also gastric acid secreted by our gastric mucosa. In addition to decomposing food into chyme, stomach acid can also sterilize. If the gastric acid secretion is sufficient, few bacteria will pass through the strong gastric acid environment!
However, many people have insufficient gastric acid secretion and poor digestion level, so there will always be many bacteria and viruses running to the stomach or intestines for infection!
Remember what I said before about probiotics? Why do you suggest eating on an empty stomach? Because probiotics are also bacteria, but they belong to beneficial bacteria, and they have not secreted gastric acid on an empty stomach, so beneficial bacteria can safely reach the intestine through the stomach and directly regulate the strains in the intestine.
Nutrilite's probiotics have a special technical package, even after meals, they can safely reach the intestines through stomach diseases, but personally, it is best to eat them on an empty stomach before meals!
In view of the strengthening of the second line of defense, it is especially necessary to increase the intake of protein, minerals, vitamin C, vitamin B group and probiotics!
Because just now, all cells in the body, including white blood cells and phagocytes, are made of protein. Without protein, the number of phagocytes is not enough, and the response to the invasion of bacteria and viruses will not be rapid!
Minerals can balance the acid-base balance of blood and tissue fluid and regulate the nervous system!
Vitamin B family plays an important role in this defense line, because the secretion of many substances and hormones requires the participation of vitamin B family!
Vitamin C can directly enter the blood circulation and tissue fluid, directly fight against bacteria and viruses, and synthesize collagen tissue with protein, which can quickly enhance immunity and combat capability!
Probiotics can regulate intestinal flora, improve intestinal ecological environment and enhance the activity of immune cells.
The first line of defense and the second line of defense are innate immune defense, and everyone has this function. As long as the needs of the body are met and the required materials are fully supplemented, the strength of these two lines of defense will gradually strengthen!
As for the third line of defense, it is mainly to strengthen all immune organs and immune cells in the body! Whether a person's physique is good enough depends mainly on whether your third line of defense is strong enough!
If your third line of defense is strong, then your ability to identify and lock foreign pathogens is better than that of ordinary people. Your body will quickly specify targeted programs for special pathogens, and then quickly produce antibodies to solve them quickly!
The same is true for the third line of immune defense, which needs enough protein, high-quality fat, vitamins, minerals, probiotics and multivitamins. ...
In a special period, additional nutrients such as Echinacea purpurea and allicin are needed to help enhance immunity quickly!
If you know how to support the body's three immune defense lines, then your immunity will get better and better, your ability to fight bacteria and viruses will become stronger and stronger, and your body will be repaired and cured faster and faster! Of course, your state and mental outlook are naturally better than the average person!
In addition to the improvement of diet and nutrition, we also need to combine mentality, sleep and beneficial activities, and systematically support them through overall and comprehensive health planning!
I won't elaborate on this aspect, as everyone knows!
Let me give you an analogy. Take COVID-19 as an example. It is menacing, difficult to prevent and highly contagious. As long as it is close contact, it is easy to be caught.
Then why are the susceptible people mostly frail and sick old people? And these people often suffer from chronic diseases for a long time!
Because these people's immunity is very poor, the defense function of the three lines of defense is very weak, so they have almost no ability to resist bacteria! The physical environment is also very suitable for virus reproduction, and viruses like this host!
Why are young people and children relatively less susceptible to infection? Because at least the first and second lines of defense are still healthy. COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through respiratory tract.
If the mucous membrane of your respiratory tract is healthy and the cilia of the respiratory tract are long, even if the virus enters your mouth through the respiratory tract, your body will quickly clean up such foreign bodies from your body by sneezing and coughing.
Make it difficult for the virus to penetrate into the human body.
For example, some people are infected with the virus, but he has no symptoms, but he is indeed a virus carrier and has spread the virus to people around him. As a result, everyone around him was infected and he was happy.
This kind of person, mainly the third line of immune defense, is stronger. Although the virus invaded his body, his body reacted quickly and he could quickly synthesize antibodies to deal with the virus! So after a while, he was completely well!
Therefore, an epidemic can test our immune system!
The improvement of immunity can't happen overnight, nor can we just read the official report, eat some VC and protein powder!
Instead, we should have a systematic understanding of the human body, the relationship between nutrition and health, and diseases, understand the principles and mechanisms behind them, and then give physical support from various angles and aspects to create conditions for the body!
These conditions include balanced daily diet, necessary nutritional supplements, optimistic attitude, regular work and rest, and waiting time. ...
Do everything that is good for your health and immunity, and add points to all aspects of your body. Your immune system, repair ability, healing ability and mental state will definitely get better and better!
Through this epidemic, more people understand how important it is to have a strong immune system, which is also a very important core competitiveness in the future. I hope everyone can have this awareness, and from now on, know how to plan health, improve diet and be kind to your body!
Viruses and humans are constantly evolving, but the physical quality of the people is declining, from the old to the children! But viruses evolve very quickly. If it is not corrected and improved in time, the same tragedy will continue in the future!
Therefore, as parents, we should set an example, manage our own health, let our children thrive in a healthy atmosphere, and educate their children with correct health concepts from an early age. This is our greatest wealth and guarantee for our children!
Ok, that's the end of the course of immunization against the three main lines of defense. What don't you understand? The communication and consultation in class are over.
