Since 2002, on the initiative World Organization Health (WHO) March 1 marks World Immunity Day, the purpose of which is to remind people of the problems associated with various immune diseases, as well as with the preservation and strengthening of immunity.

Immunity is the body’s ability to resist; the immune system neutralizes foreign cells, various infections and viruses, and then destroys them.

Signs of immune failure

Frequent colds, prolonged fever, syndrome chronic fatigue, painful sensations in joints and muscles, sleep disturbances, frequent headaches, the appearance of skin rashes - all these are manifestations of disturbances in the functioning of the immune system and reasons to start strengthening protective forces body and consult a doctor.

The human immune system depends half on heredity, as it begins to form in the womb, and 50% on lifestyle. The three pillars on which human immunity rests are: healthy sleep, physical activity and balanced diet. Usually a person thinks about the role and possibilities of maintaining immunity only during a severe cold, while it itself is a consequence of immune deficiency.

Therefore, it is important for everyone to take care of health and strengthen the immune system, especially in the off-season on the eve of spring - this is the time when the body especially needs support. It is also important to pay attention to immunity for those who have suffered from acute respiratory infections, acute respiratory viral infections or influenza and who experience heavy physical exertion.

You can restore and maintain immunity with the help of special immune-strengthening agents, but there are many additional ways to strengthen the body.

Horseradish, shrimp and bay leaf

Nutrition is the key to protection against viruses and diseases and most important factor, helping to improve the body's defenses. Nutrition should be as rational as possible in quantitative and qualitative terms. Your menu should contain animal proteins and plant origin. Animal proteins are found in meat, fish, eggs and milk, and plant proteins are found in peas, beans, buckwheat and oatmeal. Beef liver and seafood - shrimp, mussels, squid - have a beneficial effect on the immune system.

Under no circumstances should you take immunostimulants on your own. To have the right to prescribe these drugs, the doctor must: first make sure that standard therapy has not brought the desired effect; study the patient’s immunogram; have long-term experience in the use of immunostimulants, based, among other things, on assessing the long-term effects of the prescribed medication.

Spices support the immune system well - ginger, barberry, cloves, coriander, cinnamon, basil, cardamom, turmeric, bay leaf and - horseradish.

Extracting vitamins

Vitamins and microelements are needed to strengthen the immune system. Their deficiency can be compensated with the help of multivitamin complexes, but in general it is better to obtain vitamins and microelements naturally.

Vitamins A can be obtained from carrots, grapes, greens - it is found in all red and orange fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, rose hips, cranberries, lingonberries, and cabbage, especially sauerkraut. Vitamin E - in sunflower, olive or corn oils. There are many B vitamins in legumes, cereals, eggs, any greens and nuts.

Among the microelements, zinc and selenium have a positive effect on the immune system. Zinc is found in fish, meat, liver, nuts, beans and peas. Selenium should be “extracted” from fish, seafood, and garlic.

Minerals - iron, copper, magnesium and zinc - are found in liver, kidneys, heart, nuts, legumes and chocolate.

Dry red

Smoking and alcohol not only undermine, but kill the immune system. But if with tobacco everything is simple and clear - you need to quit smoking and avoid tobacco smoke, then with alcohol the situation is different. Dry red wine is good for the immune system, but the maximum permissible daily dose is 50-100 grams.

Getting used to the cold

It is necessary to prepare for any outbreak of morbidity in advance, strengthening, first of all, nonspecific protection. Everyone knows about such a method as hardening, but most are sure that hardening is getting used to the cold, for example, walking in the snow in shorts. But in fact, the essence of hardening is to train the mucous membranes to quickly respond to sudden changes in temperature.

The training can be quite simple - alternate dousing with cold and hot water forearms - from hand to elbow. Temperature cold water- +20 °C, hot - +35 °C - this is the most tolerable difference of 15 °C.

Pouring should be done daily - 5-7 minutes a day, in the morning or evening. This procedure is especially suitable for children.

Calm and only calm!

If you often suffer from colds and ARVI, try strengthening your body with Kalanchoe juice.

Hardening will help strengthen the body's strength. The easiest way is to take a small foam mat, moisten it with a cold infusion of plants that enhance immunity, and stand on it barefoot.

Nutritional yeast has a good immunostimulating effect, which is especially recommended for children. They should be taken for a month (at least 50 grams per week), diluting a small part in boiled water without sugar.

From plant substances, which have a pronounced immunostimulating effect, you should pay attention to infusions of Eleutherococcus, ginseng and Chinese lemongrass.

Immunity is our body’s natural defense against harmful microbes, viruses and diseases, which is why it must be constantly strengthened and improved. The best period for this purpose is summer, because it is the period that is richest in fresh vegetables and fruits, and, consequently, in vitamins and nutrients.

Our body’s immune defense works constantly, so it will not be possible to avoid the attack of foreign cells. But these are some other conditions (including the use of too much fatty foods, long course of antibiotic treatment, negative influence environmental factors (radiation, industrial waste, exhaust gases, etc.)), stress and age suppress the immune system, weakening it. Constant fatigue, increased incidence of insomnia, drowsiness, fatigue, increased incidence of colds, aching joints and muscles, can be considered the main signs of weakened immunity.

Regular consumption of pumpkin, zucchini, squash, and zucchini has a remarkable effect. They are good in all types: vegetable stew, zucchini pancakes, millet porridge with pumpkin.

The Japanese diet, in which preference is given to various seafood: squid, shrimp, cod, hake, perch, contributes to a rapid increase in immunity. If these products seem expensive to someone, they can be replaced with cheaper, but no less effective analogues: pollock, ice fish, haddock, pink salmon. Lightly salted varieties of red fish that have not undergone heat treatment, fresh frozen trout, salmon and herring (but only from a barrel, not from a can) are also not prohibited.

I advise you to periodically include frozen mackerel in your menu.

The kettle needs to be wrapped and allowed to stand for at least 1.5-2 hours, or better yet, all night. You should drink this portion per day in 2-3 doses as desired.

I advise you to carry a couple of bananas or a small amount of dates, figs, dried apricots with you and snack on them several times during the day.

Immunity - what is it?

Immunity is the body’s ability to resist painful conditions caused by microbes, viruses, and toxins. Thanks to immunity, our body maintains a balanced and constant internal environment at the cellular and molecular levels.

Immunity can be:

• hereditary or congenital;
• acquired.

Innate immunity is passed on from generation to generation. Innate immunity is divided into:

• absolute (immunity to some animal diseases);
• relative (under some circumstances it is possible to become infected with certain diseases).

Acquired immunity accumulates during the life cycle and is divided into:

• artificial - with the help of medical influence;
• active artificial - occurs due to vaccination;
• passive artificial - with the introduction of ready-made antibodies;
• natural acquired - without medical intervention;
• active natural - appears after an illness;
• passive natural - when antibodies pass from mother to baby.

The principle of functioning of the immune system is to recognize, process and destroy foreign elements from the body.

Human skin, mucous membranes, inflammation reaction, saliva, microflora of the digestive organs are the protective properties of the body.

Each one performs its task. In order to influence the immune system, it is necessary to find out the reasons for the failure of the system and identify the organs that cannot cope with the task of protecting the body. Just twenty years ago, tonsils were considered an unimportant organ, and they were removed for the most insignificant reasons. As a result, the person became more vulnerable to various diseases. Currently, the role of tonsils as an organ of the immune system is generally recognized and they try to remove them in the most extreme cases.

The same attitude was towards appendicitis. In some countries, removal of this organ was prescribed early age V mandatory to avoid future inflammation situations. These children's immune systems were compromised. The organs of the gastrointestinal tract occupy a special place in the immune system. Normalizing intestinal activity allows you to stabilize the immune system. It has been proven that more than eighty percent of immune protection is ensured by the full functioning of the digestive system.
