2 Tips to Protect Your Immunity at Different Age Levels

The immune system can recognize and destroy the virus and bacteria from the outside world in time. As long as the immune system is disordered or collapsed, it will cause a variety of diseases. Immunity decline, vulnerable to the attack of pathogenic bacteria, but also spread to the endocrine and nervous system, its main performance is easy to fatigue, wound healing speed is slow, repeated cold or listlessness. The immune system peaks in your mid-20s and declines gradually after 30, with different age groups facing different immune crises.

What kind of immune crisis do people of different ages face?

Children and adolescents

Breast milk provides basic immunity for newborns; Vaccination is used to prevent a variety of diseases and improve immunity. Although people’s living environment has been improved, they are vulnerable to allergic diseases if they are too clean. In addition, excessive levels of formaldehyde, benzene and PM2.5 in the environment will also affect their immunity. Nowadays, children’s heavy learning tasks, excessive mental stress and lack of sleep will also affect hormone secretion and weaken immunity. Eating too much processed food and snacks, and not enough vegetables, can also lower the immune system.

Middle-aged people

Middle-aged people are the most at risk, with their immune function declining gradually as they enter their 30s. Especially after 40 years of economic and mental stress, if still irregular work and rest, not a balanced intake of nutrition will cause the immune system to collapse. It also reduces anti-tumor ability and increases the risk of cancer.

The elderly

After entering the age of 65, the function of various organs of the body declines and the immune ability declines rapidly, so comprehensive care is needed at this stage. Increase or decrease clothes appropriately according to the weather, don’t go to the public places with dense population and poor air, and keep moderate exercise to build up resistance. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, basic diseases such as COPD or tracheitis, long bed rest, and weak constitution should be vaccinated against pneumonia and influenza.

How to protect immunity?

Eat a balanced diet

Balanced and comprehensive nutrition can ensure the body to generate sufficient immune cells and immune factors, especially the appropriate supplement of the following 7 nutrients, from milk lean meat and eggs to obtain protein, which is the basis of antibody generation; Iron can promote the production of antibodies, choose animal liver, red meat or animal blood; Vitamin C also promotes antibody production and can be obtained from citrus fruits, tomatoes or broccoli. Vitamin A can protect immunity, may wish to eat more cod liver oil, animal liver, broccoli, carrots or pumpkin; Zinc, which regulates immunity, can be obtained from mushroom foods, seashells, liver and lean meat. Vitamin E can regulate immunity, can eat beans, nuts and vegetable oil; Selenium is a major component of immune cells and can be obtained from seafood and animal liver and kidney.

Be optimistic

Long-term mental tension, excessive pessimism and depression can affect glucocorticoid secretion, thereby reducing immunity. Everyone has their own pressure, but must be positive and optimistic to face, talk to friends and relatives, through sports, singing or listening to music to vent reasonable way. In addition to getting at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day, staying up late or not getting enough sleep can damage the immune system.

Warm prompt

For children and the elderly who need to be vaccinated as far as possible, safe and effective vaccines can enhance immunity and effectively prevent infectious diseases. The product that cannot credulous health care tastes manufacturer place to propagandize additionally, health care tastes is not equal to medicaments, just can raise immune response level, cannot raise immunity fundamentally.

Diabetes is a new cause of death, with cancer leading the way, and people who are overweight or obese are at greater risk

What is the ultimate outcome of poor diabetes control? What is the chief cause of death?

I believe most people will say that the biggest harm of diabetes is to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is also the first cause of death of diabetic people.

However, according to the latest Lancet report published in 2021, cancer has become the number one cause of death among diabetics in the UK and other countries, and this is a major trend in the future.

The cause is closely related to the disorders and disorders of the most basic glucose and lipid metabolism of the body. All tissues and organs not only cannot normally complete their physiological activities, but also will be damaged and mutated, eventually leading to the occurrence of cancer. One of the most obvious and damaging factors is being exposed to high levels of insulin.

People with diabetes may wonder: isn’t diabetes caused by insufficient insulin production? Why is there such a thing as high insulin?

Little imagine, almost all people with diabetes have insulin resistance phenomenon, simply is the normal insulin cannot enter cells play a role stranded in the blood, even if insufficient insulin secretion, also makes the body high insulin levels, the performance of the most common is a person with diabetes are overweight, obesity, especially big the centrality of belly fat.

Studies have confirmed that: thyroid, ovarian, breast, bladder, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other cancers are closely related to diabetes mellitus; It also leads to a less effective treatment of cancer and a worse prognosis than the average person’s cancer.

Therefore, for people with diabetes, we should not only prevent and delay the occurrence of complications such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, uremia, renal failure and blindness, but also pay attention to the prevention and treatment of cancer, so as to achieve prevention first, early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

So, how to do cancer prevention?

The most effective measure is to control blood glucose, especially postprandial blood glucose. Only good blood glucose control can improve the level of islet in the body. We should know that the mechanism of insulin secretion in the body is initiated and regulated by the level of blood sugar. According to a 2015 study published in Obesity and Metabolism, a 60 percent increase in blood sugar after a meal was associated with a 500 percent rise in insulin levels. Therefore, only by keeping blood sugar at a low level can insulin secretion make the best use of its resources and avoid the occurrence of high insulin.

Since blood glucose, especially postprandial blood glucose, mainly comes from three meals a day, and carbohydrates in the three meals are the most important, it is the most direct and effective measure to strictly control the total intake of carbohydrates throughout the day. At present, the Mediterranean diet, Shu diet, that is, on the basis of strict control and as far as possible to reduce the carbohydrate food, through the increase of high quality protein, fresh fruits and vegetables to ensure that the body to obtain enough calories.

Moreover, more and more practice has proved that strict restriction of carbohydrate also plays an important role in preventing and treating various complications of diabetes. People with diabetes should follow this principle to gradually reduce the amount of carbohydrates-rich food, some experts put forward to achieve a daily carbohydrate intake of no more than 50 grams, of course, while paying attention to protein, fat and other intake.

In short, no matter from the basic treatment of diabetes or the prevention and treatment of diabetes complications including cancer, good control of blood sugar is the most basic requirement. People with diabetes must not take it lightly, especially those who are overweight or obese, should take prevention as early as possible, with the first goal of losing weight as soon as possible.
