Staying at home and reducing gatherings and going out are all ways to help prevent the epidemic.
Zeng Qingshan, an attending physician at the Clinical Nutrition Department of the Third Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, suggested that under the epidemic prevention and control situation, following these six points will help improve the body's immunity.
01 To improve the body’s immunity, it is important to master these six points ● 1. Drink more water. The first task to improve immunity is to drink more boiled water, which can keep the mucous membranes in the nasal cavity and mouth moist; drinking more water can also make people feel
Fresh and full of energy.
Boiled water helps promote the body's metabolism and is a good catalyst.
Water is easily absorbed by our body and enhances the activity of lactate dehydrogenase in various organs of the body, thereby enhancing the body's immunity and disease resistance.
It is better for your body to drink a cup of warm water or room temperature water when you wake up in the morning.
●2. Good sleep. High-quality sleep can promote the body to produce more sleep factors. Sleep factors can promote the increase of white blood cells and strengthen the detoxification ability of the liver, thereby eliminating bacteria and viruses that invade the human body.
Therefore, high-quality sleep can help improve human immunity.
Ventilating the room throughout the day can freshen the air, and moderate ventilation at night can help you breathe fresh air during sleep.
●3. Reduce stress. People in modern society are generally under great pressure. Chronic stress caused by problems such as unsatisfactory work or children's education will reduce the body's immune system's ability to fight diseases.
If people are under extreme stress for a long time, the activity of T lymphocytes will be reduced, the activity of macrophages will be reduced, and the immune response will be weakened.
Therefore, when facing pressure, you must learn to reduce stress yourself. You can reduce stress through exercise, games, singing, etc.
●4. Drink tea often, especially green tea.
Green tea is rich in nutrients such as polyphenols, which can stimulate the body's production of antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes. Green tea also contains tannic acid and vitamin C, which can kill a variety of bacteria, fight infectious diseases and improve immunity.
, has a significant effect.
●5. Balanced diet A diversified and scientifically matched diet can ensure a balanced intake of various nutrients. It can not only improve personal nutritional status, but also enhance resistance.
Pay attention to the combination of food for three meals a day, including a balanced combination of coarse and fine, dry and thin, meat and vegetable, cold and hot.
●6. Moderate exercise During the epidemic, many people stayed at home, but this does not mean that physical exercise, especially scientific physical exercise, can be ignored.
Now everyone can do some moderate-intensity whole-body exercises, such as aerobics, yoga, floor exercises, health Qigong and other indoor sports.
Another benefit of physical exercise is its positive impact on human psychology.
During this epidemic, some people have experienced negative emotions such as anxiety, panic, irritability, and depression. Proper physical exercise can relieve these negative emotions.
02 Nutritionists recommend: Eat more of these foods: 1. Poultry refers to meat such as chicken, duck, goose, pigeon, and quail.
The protein nutrition of poultry meat is roughly the same as that of livestock meat. What is different from livestock meat is that the saturated fatty acid content is lower.
Eating poultry meat is better for health than eating livestock meat.
