3. How to improve immunity
Patients with low immunity should improve their immunity from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. For example, in daily life, we should pay more attention to adding clothes to keep warm and avoid cold diseases on the body. Because of the cold phenomenon, patients will consume two kinds of nutrients, such as vitamin C, and at the same time, they will be accompanied by loss of appetite and decreased gastrointestinal function, which will hinder the normal intake of nutrients, lead to decreased immunity and even lead to a vicious circle. However, we can supplement nutrition from our daily diet and eat more foods rich in protein, such as lean meat, milk, fish, shrimp and beans, which can improve our immunity.
Keeping a reasonable sleep and creating a good rest environment can also help us improve our body resistance. Because of the pressure of work and life, modern people exercise less and less. Regular moderate-intensity exercise can help us improve our physical function and immune system, and naturally avoid the decline of immunity.
