Weak immunity: causes

Exists a large number of reasons for weakening the immune system. The most frequent are:

• psychological stress;
• unbalanced malnutrition;
• excessive thinness;
• regular violation of sleep and wakefulness;
• lack of physical activity;
• smoking;
• alcohol abuse;
• taking drugs;
• frequent change of climatic zones;
• previous illnesses, injuries, operations;
• taking certain medications;
• in newborns, it is low birth weight, birth trauma And intrauterine infections, maternal diseases before and during pregnancy.

Psychological stress haunts both adults and children throughout their lives. The life of an adult is constantly accompanied by stress - personal problems, large non-standard workloads, and so on. In children, admission to Kindergarten, transfer to another school, problems adolescence and family can cause stress.

Decreased immunity is often complication of many diseases, lasts several months after the end of the disease that caused the decrease in immunity. This circumstance is not always taken into account by doctors. Such diseases include various infections, helminthiases (worms), prolonged diarrhea, operations, chronic diseases ( kidney failure, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, hypothyroidism, etc.), severe injuries and burns, tumors. In children of the first year of life, it is also a common Iron-deficiency anemia, untimely introduction of complementary foods, malnutrition.

Reduced immunity occurs in the elderly and children due to age features organism.

Pregnancy itself is an immunological phenomenon and reduces immunity due to the complex relationship between mother and unborn child, as well as due to high costs. female body on the development of the child.

Immunity-suppressing drugs include certain antibiotics, anesthetics, hormones for long-term use, antitumor agents.

Signs of a weakened immune system

Signs of a decrease in immunity can be: decreased performance, prolonged without visible reasons fatigue, prolonged recurring pustular rashes on the skin and pyoderma, frequent prolonged acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections, otitis media, bronchitis, prolonged pneumonia, a tendency to any infectious diseases, persistence ( long stay) various infections in the body, prolonged diarrhea

Immunity strengthening: features

• In newborns

  An ideal means of strengthening immunity in newborns is breastfeeding, in which ready-made antigens (special molecules against infections) enter the baby's body from the mother. If breastfeeding did not work out, then in order to prevent a decrease in immunity, it is necessary to use only adapted mixtures, introduce complementary foods on time and in sufficient quantities, and use high-quality products. visit more often fresh air and observe hygienic conditions.

  As a rule, in infancy there is no need to increase the child’s immunity, since at this age the child’s body is not yet perfect, it is only being formed, and it’s not worth it to “climb into it” to correct something in it. The only thing that is required at this age is the right, balanced diet, and it must be natural, since in breast milk mothers have all the necessary vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, carbohydrates and immunoglobulins, which are responsible for increasing immunity in the body of infants.

  The exception is when the baby is sick serious illness, which leads to a decrease in immunity. In this case, additional immunostimulants may be prescribed by the pediatrician.

• In children

  The child's body requires a lot of strength for growth and development and at the same time is very vulnerable to the negative effects of factors that reduce immunity. Therefore, children should more carefully monitor the content of probiotics, iron, vitamins, and minerals in food. Carefully observe the daily regimen and hygienic regimen.

  As mentioned above, the child's body is more "strong" in terms of increasing its own immune forces, but since this is a child, and not an adult, his body is more "vulnerable", and he cannot resist so much. harmful influences from the outside, like the body of an adult. Therefore, children must be especially carefully protected from all those factors that may adversely affect the health of the child. For example, to protect a child from a father who likes to smoke in the house, from relatives who are ill with various diseases. infectious diseases(influenza, SARS, etc.).

  In addition, a child from childhood should be taught hygiene measures, walking with a child in the fresh air, hardening the child's body, contrast pouring, exercise proper care behind him, arrange baby proper nutrition(if possible, breastfeeding up to 1 year). In addition, courses in the autumn-winter periods give the child vitamin complexes.

• In adults

  The issue of increasing immunity is relevant among any contingents of the population, despite the fact that it is an adult, a person or a child, a man or a woman, since strong immunity This is a multifactorial protection against any disease. Another issue is that the relevance of increasing and stimulating immunity in adults is higher than in children, since in childhood the body is still trying as much as possible to form stable immunity, and the body of children, unlike the adult body, is not affected by so many harmful, professional, household and other factors.

  In an adult, unlike children, immune forces are noticeably reduced, and all because we are all constantly in a hurry somewhere, save on our health, neglect simple rules that would help strengthening immunity or save it to normal level. In addition, few of us observe proper nutrition, correct mode day, not all of us have a good sleep-rest, but each of us is surrounded by one thing - bad habits. All this is the root cause of a decrease in immunity, which subsequently leads to various diseases. To avoid this, it is enough to adhere to some rules, guidelines which will gradually enter your habitual life and noticeably improve the work of your immune system.

It would be necessary to refuse the constant intake of semi-finished products, sausages, sausages, fatty meat and others. It is best to replace these products with fresh fish.

  Secondly, this good rest . Every person should have an 8 hour night rest, as well as rest at lunch from 30 minutes to 1 hour (it is not necessary to sleep, just lie down with eyes closed). Since we all work, and of course, not everyone has time to relax, but still, if you cannot allocate time for a lunch break, then you simply must find time for a full 8-hour night's sleep-rest, because we are talking about your health!

  Thirdly - avoid stressful situations , various kinds of stress, workload. In order for the whole daily routine to be perceived more gently, you need to take vitamins and sedatives, for example, motherwort - this will have a rather favorable effect on your body.

  Fourth, you need get rid of bad habits , such as uncontrolled reception coffee, smoking, alcoholism, and in some cases drug addiction. In parallel with this, it would be necessary to treat all chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases in the body, which leads to a decrease in immunity.

  Fifth, it active image life and sports.

  Such a small set of activities will allow you not only to maintain and strengthen your immunity, but also significantly increase it. By following these recommendations, you will be able to feel the result in 2 weeks!

  So, in adults the most simple means are good nutrition, long sleep, exercising, and taking vitamins or immune boosters if at risk of exposure adverse factors- stress, etc. Such a drug can be Thymogen by Cytomed, which stimulates the immune system and has few contraindications.

• In pregnant women

  In pregnant women, it is necessary to carefully monitor the state of the immune system, since the transferred infectious diseases can significantly harm the unborn child. When planning a pregnancy, it is necessary to check the state of the immune system of future parents.

  During pregnancy, it is highly undesirable to take absolutely no medications, since even the most harmless of them can sometimes lead to unpleasant outcomes and deformities of the fetus. Therefore, increasing immunity in pregnant women should take place a little differently than in ordinary adults.

  To begin with, a woman needs to treat all her acute and chronic diseases (immediately before planning a pregnancy) - this will avoid exacerbations various diseases during pregnancy. Further, you just need to lead a healthy lifestyle, avoid occupational hazards, various intoxications, diseases (especially respiratory ones), you need to eat right (as mentioned above), you need to moderately do gymnastics, go for walks daily, have healthy sleep, daytime rest for at least 2 hours, hardening, and of course visit women's consultation, take tests in order to monitor your condition in dynamics.

  Immunity while breastfeeding

  As mentioned a little higher, immunity during breastfeeding is provided by all useful substances. mother's milk, and specifically - immunoglobulins, and this is not a myth - but a reality. That's why, World Organization health care year after year keeps talking about importance breastfeeding children under 1 year of age.

  But with breastfeeding, there are negative side relating to the mother. With prolonged breastfeeding, the mother's immune system begins to weaken, since all the "power" of the mother's body is aimed at lactation and milk enrichment with all useful substances. Therefore, during the period breastfeeding women, on the advice of a doctor, should carry out immunostimulation.

• How to strengthen the immune system for the elderly

  To strengthen the immune system, an elderly person does not need any special measures. In old age, it is enough to carry out all the recommendations that were mentioned above, but in addition, preventive courses can be used Cytovir-z or Thymogen well stimulate the immune system.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase immunity by folk methods only after consulting with a specialist, and having previously identified whether you are allergic to one or another component. It is most expedient in this case to use such vegetable substances, like ginseng, nettle, eleutherococcus, wild rose, Chinese magnolia vine, Manchurian aralia, birch and some others.

Weak immunity has signs, knowing which, you can pay attention to the problem in time. The deterioration of well-being, which becomes a constant fact, is a signal for checking the functions of the immune system. It is impossible to self-diagnose about weak immunity. To accurately determine the dysfunctions of the protective mechanism, a general clinical examination prescribed by an immunologist is necessary.

The symptomatic picture of a weak immune system is several pathological changes physical and psychological state.

This statement is objective, but reflects only one aspect of the disease, since there are many factors that reduce the functionality of the protective forces.

In adults

Factors that weaken the immunity of an adult can be expressed in a list.

• Unbalanced diet, the use of foods with a lack of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, trace elements. The result is a breach. digestive process and an imbalance in the intestinal microflora, where cells of the immune system accumulate.
• excessive physical exercise depleting the body, weakening the production of immunoglobulins.
• Nervous disorders, stress that reduce the production of hormones of joy, which disrupts the central nervous system, forms a dysfunction in the connections of brain cells and reactions.
• Unhealthy Lifestyle- alcohol consumption, addiction to tobacco, drugs harms all systems and organs.
• Violation daily routine, lack of rest, exposure to positive natural factors- water, fresh air, sun leads to vitamin D deficiency, chronic fatigue syndrome.
• Restructuring of the body in women before menstruation, during pregnancy, during menopause.

The listed reasons for the weak defensive reaction organism can be eliminated by lifestyle changes. There are more serious factors that are more difficult to deal with, they are associated with diseases circulatory system, liver, kidneys, chronic infections, oncology and chemotherapy, rheumatoid arthritis, AIDS, lupus erythematosus.

The child has

Weak immunity from birth occurs with diseases of the immune system. Pathologies occur as primary immunodeficiency- genetic, or acquired due to intrauterine anomalies.

1. DiGeorge Syndrome. Congenital pathology of the formation of the thymus gland, it is either underdeveloped or absent altogether. This is a cellular primary immunodeficiency, which will have to be compensated for the rest of your life with the help of drug therapy.
2. Duncan syndrome - hypersensitivity to the herpes virus. Heredity by male type transmitted to boys. Leads to enzymatic pathologies, the result of which is an imbalance in the production of antibodies.
3. bruton syndrome- characterized by a deficiency in the production of all immunoglobulins, which leads to high risk severe infections in babies nervous disorders in teenagers.

Combined immunodeficiencies are accompanied by severe congenital diseases and high infant mortality. It is possible to save a child's life with a bone marrow transplant.

What to do with weak immunity, how to strengthen the defense mechanism

Prevention of the weakening of protection against diseases for human health has importance.

It is more difficult to treat immunological pathologies than to prevent the fall of immune capabilities. Therefore, it is important to know when using folk recipes and doctor's recommendations.

Nutrition

Healthy nutrition includes a balanced intake of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, Omega 3, vitamins, microelements, fiber, etc. useful substances.

Trace elements and vitamins are rich in seafood, fish, offal, cereals. Fats must be consumed vegetable, a moderate amount of butter is allowed.

But there is a list of products that reduce immunity, the use of which must be limited:

• if there is a lot of sweet, then mucous oral cavity exposed to the invasion of pathogens, since sucrose is a source of bacterial reproduction and weak immunity;
• oxalic acid contained in sorrel, artichoke, spinach, rhubarb interferes with the absorption of beneficial trace elements, which is a condition for weak protection;
• red meat, smoked meats reduce the activity of components of the immune system that kill mutating cells;

• expired food- this is a known condition of weak immunity;
• alcohol, used even in small doses, but three times a week makes the immune system weak, reducing the activity of leukocytes, inhibiting the production of antibodies.

Note! Products listed become harmful if they are eaten often and in large quantities. moderate use does not threaten the fall of immunity.

hardening

It is possible to reduce the lowering factors for the immune system by hardening the body. This methodology effective for adults, children, the elderly. The fundamental foundations of hardening procedures are their regularity, a gradual increase in loads, a decrease in air and water temperature by 1-2 degrees.

The cells of our immune system are called upon to recognize foreign objects by comparing antigens on the surfaces of foreign cells with a protein complex on the surface of our body. And if the object is recognized as alien, then it is either destroyed or disassembled into enzymes and removed.

In case it is about food product, its useful parts (protein molecules, or rather, amino acid molecules, minerals, vitamins) are absorbed. And waste is removed from the body with feces, urine and bile. If about medicinal product- its molecules bind to the proteins of the body and are transferred to those areas, to those structures of the body that these drugs are designed to act on, after which the drug is also split and its unnecessary fragments are excreted from the body.

If these are bacteria or viruses, after their destruction and splitting, the remains are removed by the same excretory systems body (not only the intestines, kidneys or liver, but also with tears, nasal mucus, sputum, ulcers on the skin, diarrhea and vomit).

Another option is that they are fenced off from healthy cells with a kind of “stone wall” in the form of many cells of the immune system, “walled up” in layers. So, by the way, tuberculous foci and are formed.

And here harmful substances that enter the body from the environment, most often bind to blood proteins and are "stored" in connective tissue, causing symptoms of internal intoxication or simply slagging of the body.

What is immunity? From Latin, this word is translated as deliverance or liberation, or independence - probably, this refers to the body's immunity to infections of various nature - viral, bacterial, etc.

Scientists have been coming to these conclusions for decades: the problem immune protection The body was studied by Mechnikov, and today doctors call immunity a whole system that provides the body with protection from everything that is alien and unknown to it - that is why our immunity destroys not only pathogens, but also rejects implants, but this is another problem.

Doctors say that the immune system is very complex, and is still not fully understood, and yet only it can protect our body and maintain its viability in any situation. The immune system not only protects us from infectious diseases: it supports all other body systems, and provides protection to each organ - such immunity is called local. When local immunity cannot provide security, the general immune system is involved - at least in general terms, everything looks like that.

What reasons?

And here it is interesting, for what reasons does immunity become weak, which negatively affects our defenses? Unfortunately, most of our compatriots remember about health when they need to think about serious treatment and, as a rule, they do not even want to hear about prevention. In Russia, for some reason, it is customary to laugh at those who do morning exercises, watch their diet, refuse alcohol and try to have a positive attitude towards everything around them, but we are accustomed to sympathize with those who swallow pills and complain about the inattention of doctors.

Medicines help quickly - they remove the symptoms, and we go to work again, trying not to think about the consequences.

Our ancestors some 100-150 years ago did not know about medicines at all, and they strengthened their health with the help of natural remedies: doctors and " sick leave they didn’t have, so they had to rely only on their wisdom and patience. Human body in general, it is difficult to break: it recovers all the time, fights against environmental aggression, defeats diseases, stresses and the environment, and eliminates the consequences malnutrition, removes toxins obtained with alcohol and nicotine - we are programmed to survive by nature itself. However, no immunity can withstand the conditions modern life- after all, in addition to all of the above, there are also many chemical drugs - from their influence, the immune system weakens, ceases to protect the body, and then serious and even incurable diseases arise. Makes immunity weak and today's sun: if sunbathing before 11 am, and especially in spring, is very useful, then the summer sun, standing at its zenith, takes a lot from us vitality- no tan is worth it.

Symptoms

Unstable and weak immunity is now a problem for many people: when the immune system is in decline, it is easy to notice. If a person catches a cold a couple of times a year, and is cured without special complications, this is considered normal - especially since it is not always a matter of a cold as such - only a few are able to avoid infection while being in a crowd of sneezing and coughing people during an epidemic.

By what symptoms can you understand that the immune system has become weak? Many people get sick not 1-2 times, but 4-6 times, and even more often - up to 10 times: when they go to work after "sick leave", they catch the infection again, carry it on their feet, get complications, simultaneously infecting others - sick and more and more weakened.

Symptoms of weak immunity are also fast fatiguability And chronic fatigue skin problems, muscle and joint pain, frequent violations digestion and allergic reactions. Allergy, which today is treated by the most "advanced" doctors, in the vast majority of cases, is nothing more than the desire of the immune system to throw out all the accumulated dirt from the body.

When cells and intercellular space are clogged with toxins and toxins, the immune system not only ceases to recognize harmful and healthy food, but it also begins to consider its own tissues as foreign - then diseases called autoimmune arise.

Fever for no apparent reason frequent exacerbations available chronic diseases, drowsiness or insomnia can also be the result of an extremely weakened immune system - in no case should you put up with such a situation.

Of course, the symptoms of weak immunity can be due to serious illnesses- we can say that this is a vicious circle - and then you can not do without a doctor. In any case, you need to go to him: pass all the tests, undergo an examination - if necessary, treatment will be prescribed, but relying only on doctors is at least stupid.

We are responsible for our own health, and doctors only treat us when we are already sick - so why bring it to this? Start finally taking care of yourself, and first get rid of everything that weakens the immune system and makes us vulnerable to disease.

stress against immunity

What does our immunity depend on in the first place? Nutrition - the most important factor that affects our health - this is true, but all the vitamins and minerals that the body tries to “stock up for future use” literally pour out of it in an avalanche when we experience severe stress. And you should remember that stress is one of the main causes of weak immunity. It just seems that in today's life you can't do without stress - in fact, the reasons for serious disorders there is not much in life - fortunately - and most people are used to getting upset over trifles. For example, the boss at work scolded, the seller in the store seemed impolite, or a friend said some kind of taunt - all this is not at all worth it to weaken your already exhausted body.

Remember that no one can upset you without your consent - after all, we ourselves decide how to react to this or that situation. No need to sit at home after work, watch TV or discuss troubles with loved ones: try to walk in the fresh air more often, even if it seems that there is no time, and do not be lazy to take care of yourself - when a woman is well-groomed and beautiful, she has few reasons for a bad mood .

Nutrition Features

Not less than important reason weak immunity is an improper and unbalanced diet. How most people eat now is simply terrifying. Nothing useful. Although Lately trend towards the quality of consumed products and healthy lifestyle life has become more obvious, probably, people are tired of getting sick and working for medicines. Nutrition, as already mentioned, also needs to be adjusted: eat a full breakfast - eat cereals, dairy products, drink fresh juices; do not forget about the second breakfast, and even more so about lunch - it should also be full, from 3 courses; eat a light dinner, and do not make up for everything that was missed during the day. Fish and fresh meat must be on the menu, and they should be cooked with vegetables, not pasta or potatoes.

Fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten at least 300-500 g per day, and do not forget about probiotic products containing live lactoflora - yogurt, cheese, kefir, cottage cheese, soy products; and about the prebiotics that this flora feeds on - legumes, grains and other foods rich in dietary fiber.
