Original title: Natural Medicine and Precision Nutrition Strategies and Methods
In this unprecedented national fight against new crown virus infection, almost everyone has realized the importance of immunization, only to improve self-immunity is the fundamental to overcome the disease, especially in the absence of effective anti-viral drugs, the body's immunity determines your survival destiny. How does the immune system work? What are the factors that reduce immune function? What is the way to improve immunity?
immune system is a life for a person, like a national security force, with the task of destroying all foreign invaders and eliminating internal rebels to defend the country. The immune system annihilates and completely exorcises all foreign objects, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc., and kills, exorcises or surrounds the heterosexual substances produced in the course of life metabolism, such as tumor cells and fat organisms, so that they can not cause harm to the normal tissues of the body, so that the body can be long-term, healthy and long-lived. We all need to keep the immune system stable at all times, and improving immunity should be the norm in our daily lives.
the immune system?
immune system is made up of a complex and delicate set of different components that work together to play a unique role in the fight against diseases, infections and various pathogens.
a healthy immune system can distinguish organisms in the body as "self" or "non-me".
a complete, happy immune response proactively identifies pathogens as "non-me" and quickly surrounds, kills, and destroys them.
An unsound, depressed immune system reacts negatively or unable to cope with invasive organisms or heterosexual substances produced in the body, causing these "non-me" pathogens to flourish, causing damage to the body and causing disease. When the immune system mistakenly identifies "self" cells as "non-me" and responds to immune responses, it can also cause damage to its own tissues and cells, leading to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.).
body's immune system consists of two basic and complementary components, called natural and accessive immunity. Natural immunity is the "first responder" to an attack on pathogens and is a continuous immune response that relies heavily on white blood cells that have a phagocytosis effect, such as nephrotic granulocytes, monocytes, and macrophages, as well as physical barriers to prevent or immediately attack any foreign invaders and attempt to destroy them. Obtained immunity is the production of antibodies against specific foreign antigens, consisting of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes, which together produce antibodies against invading organisms. This reaction takes several days for the body to identify the intruder and make antibodies against it. Once this particular antibody is made, immune cells remember it, and when the intruder re-emerges, the immune system reacts faster and more effectively to destroy it.
immune weapons and immune processes
The immune system relies on a large number of different types of weapons to protect the body, including epidural tissue, mucous membranes and their secretions, as well as various types of cells and released chemicals.
physical and chemical barriers. The body's first line of defense is our skin and mucous membranes, which prevent many pathogens from entering. In addition, there are many secondary barriers, such as tears, sweat and saliva, that can fight certain viral bacteria, and hydrochloric acid and protein digestive enzymes secreted by the stomach wall can be fatal to many pathogens.
inflammation and fever. Inflammation is an unsealed response of the immune system to infection of pathogens or tissue damage when pathogens have invaded the body. There are 4 typical signs of inflammatory response, namely redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Inflammation begins when cells release certain factors, including leukocytocular interferon-1 (IL-1), leukocytocular mesotoper-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrotic cause of death -alpha (TNF-alpha).
gobble up cells. Phagocytosis is the phagosis and killing of foreign pathogen cells and heterosexual cells produced in the body. Phagocytotics are white blood cells, including nerotonocells, eosinophils, and macrophages, which have a short life span and must be constantly replenished by the body. Neutral granulocytes and macrophages are important weapons in the body's innitive defense.
kill cells naturally. Natural killer cells destroy many pathogens and certain cancer cells. Natural killer cells are active secretions of interferons, which enable healthy cells to produce antiviral proteins. Natural killer cells attach directly to the surface of the infected cell, causing it to rupture and killing the pathogen by leaking the pathogen's outer membrane.
antibacterial protein. When infected immune cells produce interferon, they can cause healthy cells to produce more than 30 kinds of antiviral proteins. When a separate complement protein in the immune system is activated by an infected organism, it triggers a cascading reaction that activates other complement proteins. These active proteins kill pathogens while preserving host cells, or cause infected cells to be swallowed up by phagocytes.
cytokines. Cells use chemical messengers, or cytokines, to communicate and share information. Each chemical sends a different message to other cells. Cytokines regulate immunity, inflammation, and white blood cell production. There are dozens of cytokines, each of which performs a specific set of activities for a specific target cell. They can take concerted action, or they can take action against it. Cytokines are usually produced in cascading form, that is, cytokines stimulate their target cells to produce additional cytokines, TNF-alpha, IL-1, IL-6, and I. interferons are important cytokines that regulate natural immunity.
acute stage protein. The acute stage reaction is activated by the body during severe illness. When phagocytosis binds to pathogens, they release inflammatory cytokines (proteins). This response allows the body to identify intruders before the immune response is fully activated. Acute stage proteins promote inflammation and stimulate phagocytosculars to move where they are needed.
cytokine storm. When severe and acute infections, such as influenza, occur, a large number of cytokines are released. For most infections, the release of cytokines is controlled to maintain a balance between killing the virus and minimizing damage to healthy cells. However, when certain serious pathogens invade vascular endoder cells and begin to multiply, cytokine release sometimes gets out of control, causing the host's over-immune response and inducing oxidative stress, involving a large number of freelances, known as cytokine storms. This condition often occurs in young, healthy individuals with a highly robust immune system. Originally this reaction is aimed at pathogens, but overreaction at the same time caused damage to tissues and organs at the infected site, rapid onset, rapid progress, is a harbinger of critical and death. The way to control cytokine storms is to increase and supplement antioxidants while limiting the host's immune response to reduce self-inflicted inflammatory damage.
understand the importance of immunity from new coronavirus infections
This new coronavirus infection in China is more important for us to understand the basics of immunity and understand the immunity of the body.
for natural and accessive immunity, this new coronavirus infection is the latest pathogen we have ever encountered before, because the body's immune system is not recorded. Thus, when infected with a virus, natural immunity is the "first responder" to attack pathogens, relying primarily on white blood cells that have a phagocytosis effect, such as neutrotrophils, monocytes, and macrophages, as well as physical barriers to block or attack, and initiate the mechanism of antibody production and labeling, immunity. Typically for new alien invading pathogens, this period lasts approximately 5 to 6 days before obtaining sexual immunity. During this time, depending on the load of the invading virus and the body's immunity, symptoms vary, the virus load is small or strong immunity, can be asymptomatic or only mild symptoms.
while naturally immune attacks the virus, the immune system mobilizes B and T lymphocytes to form detection units to produce antibodies against this specific foreign virus antigen and to identify and label the virus. After this, the natural and accessive immunity fights together, and the body mobilizes a variety of phagocytosis cells, natural killer cells, antibacterial proteins and cytokines throughout the immune system to enclf, kill, and remove the new coronary virus. From this stage on, the body will appear as an acute inflammatory reaction as the representative of fever, cough and other respiratory symptoms, when the virus invades the almpules, the appearance of typical pneumonia symptoms.
according to the clinical treatment and records of thousands of infected patients, after entering the accessible immunity phase, the immune system is targeted and attacked more aggressively, so the inflammatory response is intensified. In the absence of special antiviral drugs, the fight against viral infections is largely achieved by strengthening the body's immunity, and the various therapies, drugs and dietary supplements that are innovative and developed during the outbreak are almost all related to immunity enhancement. Therefore, through the experience of this outbreak of anti-new coronary virus infection, the understanding of how to improve immunity, especially how to improve the effective prevention and control of chronic diseases in the elderly to enhance immunity will be more profound.
