Scientists have found that if you regularly do these 7 things, you can improve your immunity and avoid getting sick.

After New Year\’s Day, the winter in Beijing starts to get really cold. Even the furry kid with four eyes kept yelling and being cold all day long. I quickly went online to give him a onesie, and it took a lot of effort to put it on. This guy doesn\’t make people worry… As the weather gets colder, more and more people are catching colds around them. It\’s important to keep Dunzi warm so that he doesn\’t catch a cold. You should also pay attention to hygiene and wash your paws frequently to improve immunity. The little assistant next to me saw that I was always cleaning Dunzi\’s paws, and asked me if this could improve my immunity and prevent me from getting sick. The Internet also said that eating more mushrooms, tomatoes, green vegetables, etc. can also improve immunity. Do you want to give Dunzi some? Dunzi rolled his eyes and said, \”I\’m Meow, Meow, you know! I only eat dried fish and green vegetables? I\’d better leave it to you, hum~\” Haha, it\’s not that simple to improve immunity, just eat more vegetables. Can it be improved? Hey, the assistant is still too young! How to say that, Tutu Tucson Po ~ Regarding the explanation of immunity, many people always have a vague feeling about what immunity is. Although we know that immunity is good and that it can resist diseases, it is not clear what immunity is. Immunity is a defense mechanism of the human body. It is the body\’s ability to identify and eliminate foreign intruders (viruses, bacteria), deal with aging, damage, death, and degeneration of its own cells, as well as identify and deal with mutant cells and virus-infected cells in the body. , to put it bluntly, it is the physiological reaction of the human body to identify and eliminate \”dissidents\”. Human immunity can be divided into innate immunity and acquired immunity. Innate immunity refers to what a person is born with, and acquired immunity refers to what a person acquires in life after birth. From this we know that human immunity is imperfect at birth and needs to be developed and matured over a long period of life. This is why babies are always prone to colds and illnesses, but adults get colds much less frequently. Because adults\’ immune systems tend to mature, they will have some antibodies against viruses, which greatly reduces the chance of infection. How to improve your baby\’s immunity (1) Breastfeeding to improve your baby\’s immunity starts with breastfeeding. Breast milk can provide your baby with almost all the protein, carbohydrates, and fats needed for healthy growth, and it also contains some substances (antibodies, immune factors, enzymes, and white blood cells, etc.) that can help your baby improve his immune system. These substances not only protect the baby from many viruses and bacteria during the breastfeeding stage, but also form a safety barrier for the baby long after weaning. Breast milk, especially colostrum (milk within 4 to 5 days after delivery) is rich in substances that enhance immunity. It can be said that colostrum is the best nutritional gift from a mother to her baby. Colostrum looks yellow and sticky, mainly due to the rich beta carotene and protein content in colostrum. Some people think that colostrum is dirty and squeeze it out. This is simply a waste of natural resources! Mothers must start breastfeeding as early as possible, and it is recommended that the baby start sucking the breast half an hour after delivery. Colostrum can not only enhance the baby\’s immunity, but is also more suitable for newborn babies to digest and absorb. It has irreplaceable value in promoting the early discharge of meconium and reducing the occurrence of neonatal jaundice.(2) Vaccination Vaccination is a process in which babies actively acquire immune function. Vaccination can directly provide specific antibodies to the baby, or indirectly stimulate the body to produce the specific antibodies needed to resist corresponding infectious diseases. After vaccination, the body will be exposed to a small amount of pathogenic microorganisms, but the amount is too small to cause infection. After the body is stimulated and the immune system produces antibodies, if it encounters the same virus in the future, the immune system can recognize it and mount a defensive response to reduce the risk of infection. (3) A variety of foods and a balanced diet. Babies who start to add complementary foods after 6 months of age have a rich variety of foods and a balanced diet. The body absorbs enough nutrients to maintain the body\’s normal immune function needs. Eat a balanced and varied diet to prevent your baby from having low immunity due to lack of certain nutrients. It\’s not just eating a specific kind of food that can improve your immunity. Instead, ensure a comprehensive nutritional intake of fish, poultry, eggs, meat, milk, fresh vegetables and fruits. (4) Adequate sleep Sleep is the top priority for babies after eating. Sleep is very important. Growth hormone secretion generally reaches its peak about 1 to 2 hours after falling asleep. Insufficient sleep for a long time will cause problems in the baby\’s digestive system, immune function, personality and other aspects. In addition, my country\’s Ministry of Education clearly stipulates that primary school students need to maintain 10 hours of sleep a day, junior high school students 9 hours, and high school students 8 hours. (5) The body organs of babies who do not abuse antibiotics are still immature. If parents abuse antibiotics to treat infections caused by viruses, not only will they not kill the viruses in the body, but they will have the opposite effect. When antibiotics fail to find harmful bacteria, they will kill the beneficial bacteria in the body, causing diarrhea in babies, lowering immunity, and prolonging the course of the disease. Therefore, when using antibiotics to treat your baby, you must use the medicine under the guidance of a doctor and cannot use it without authorization. (6) Exercise at any time. Moderate exercise is good for your health. Exercise will increase the number of immune cells in the body and improve immunity. (7) Pay attention to hygiene and wash your hands frequently. This is the simplest, most effective, cost-effective way of defense against pathogenic bacteria. Data shows that cleaning hands with water and soap can help reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases by 30-47% and the incidence of respiratory diseases by nearly 23%, especially after cleaning the baby, before meals, before feeding the baby, and cooking for the baby. Wait. Washing hands with soap by mothers and other caregivers at home can reduce neonatal mortality by 44%. The incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease, which is easily spread among children, will also be greatly reduced. Immunity-boosting products are spread online. When your baby gets sick, parents must not worry and rush to improve their baby\’s immunity. As a result, various products on the market that claim to be \”too high for babies\’ immunity\” have emerged. (1) Bovine colostrum. Colostrum from breast milk is indeed effective in improving the baby\’s immunity, but bovine colostrum is quite different. Currently, there is no evidence that bovine colostrum can improve a baby’s immunity. Moreover, bovine colostrum has complex components and uncertain safety, and may also increase the burden on the baby\’s kidneys and the risk of allergies. (2) Appropriate supplementation of probiotics will indeed help gastrointestinal health, but if the baby’s bodyWhen probiotics are already sufficient, supplementing them with extra probiotics can easily break the existing balance and cause the baby to get sick. Furthermore, most of the advertised effects of probiotics are not substantiated by scientific research. Probiotic products will not help babies improve constipation, shorten the duration of colds, increase resistance, treat allergies, etc. (3) Daily supplements Daily supplements of various trace elements can indeed supplement the nutrients required by the body, but any nutrition has a range, and more supplements will not be beneficial. Under normal circumstances, as long as the baby has a balanced diet, the body\’s nutritional needs can be met. No additional supplements are needed, and it is not recommended to just eat and play. With the exception of VD, it is recommended that babies supplement vitamin D from two weeks after birth, until adolescence or even adulthood, depending on the situation. (4) As long as the protein powder ensures a normal daily diet, protein-rich foods such as milk, eggs, beans and various meats are enough to meet the body\’s demand for protein. Eating too much protein is not always better. Eating too much protein is likely to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and increase the burden on the kidneys. Ensure that your baby has a normal diet every day so that he will not be lacking in protein, and there is no need to take extra protein powder.
