Through the last course, we learned that the immune system is the primary line of defense to maintain our human health. It resists all kinds of pathogens all the time, monitors our health and guards our health. Therefore, we stay healthy. The fundamental is to have a healthy immune system. I believe many friends have also heard about it. Judging from the previous confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia and our country’s epidemic prevention experience, maintaining a healthy immune system is also the best weapon to prevent and fight against the new coronavirus.
To keep our immune system healthy, we must know what pathogenic sources our immune system suffers from in daily life, and what are the evils of these pathogens?
The first nasty thing about the source of the disease is that it is small enough:
We all know that humans get sick mainly due to pathogenic sources such as viruses, bacteria, and DNA mutations in the body. It is difficult for human eyes to detect their existence. For example, bacteria were not discovered for the first time by humans until the 17th century.
It is precisely because these pathogenic sources have not been truly recognized by us humans that it is difficult for us to deal with them for a long time. So when we look back at human history, we will find that many terrible plagues caused by different sources of disease have occurred on different continents of this blue planet. It wasn't until modern society that humans were able to observe microorganisms with relevant instruments, and had a certain understanding of pathogenic sources such as viruses and bacteria, and thus knew their existence. For hundreds of years, scientists have been researching and applying the most advanced science and technology at the time to face the threat of infectious diseases. Therefore, vaccines are also considered to be one of the greatest medical advances in human history.
The second most abhorrent cause of disease is its huge number:
There are a large number of various bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in nature. These bacteria and viruses are flooding all around us with the expansion of human living space. Although bacteria and viruses will be partially killed by ultraviolet rays under sunlight, there will still be some of the more viable ones that cannot be killed by ultraviolet rays and survive in the air for a long time.
In addition, more viruses or bacteria will attach to other animals and plants for long-term survival. These large numbers of pathogenic sources are everywhere, everywhere. Whether we are exposed to pathogenic sources in the air or eating animals and plants that contain pathogenic sources, we may be infected.
The third most abhorrent cause of disease is its speed:
Once the pathogenic source infects the human body, it will rapidly multiply by virtue of its powerful reproductive ability, and it can grow to an immeasurable number in a short time. These hundreds of millions of pathogenic sources will bring a huge burden to the immune system in the short term. , The collapse of the defense line will cause our body to become sick. And some infectious pathogens have the characteristics of rapid expansion, causing widespread infection among human groups. For example, the main method of our national defense and control of the new crown epidemic is to isolate the pathogen.
It is precisely because of these three characteristics of the pathogenic source that our immune system is easily burdened when responding to the pathogenic source, which is two "not too late."
One is that the immune system may not have time to recognize and capture the invading pathogenic source in time, because there are many types of pathogenic sources, some are very good at camouflage, some are particularly cunning, they can always evade the recognition of the immune system. The second is that the number of pathogenic sources is too large or is a new type of pathogenic source. The immune system is too late to eliminate it or although it has been identified, there is no corresponding special force to eliminate it. As a result, diseases will occur.
The long-term failure to eliminate the source of disease may endanger our lives.
Therefore, we need to protect our immune system. Its activity level determines whether we will win the battle against the pathogen. To win, we need our immune system to respond quickly when fighting the invasion of pathogenic sources, and be able to detect the invading pathogenic sources in the first time and lock them. After the source of the disease is captured, it is necessary to start with precision and train special forces that can deal with the source of the disease as soon as possible, and accurately kill the invading source of disease.
To this end, we need to allow the immune system to have a sufficient number of soldiers and types of troops, so that soldiers can be available in the face of a wide variety of pathogenic sources. In addition to sufficient numbers, we also need the guards of our own immune system to be strong and fast enough. If, when we face a pathogenic source, many of the immune system cells are immature and slow to respond, then our immune system will be useless.
In short, in the face of pathogenic invasion, we must require our own immune system to be more efficient, faster, and stronger.
However, for most people, it is not easy to have a healthy and strong immune system. In addition to the need for our own body to take in enough nutrients, we also need to face many extremely hidden and easily overlooked immune problems in daily life.
On the one hand, many of our people’s living habits are not good. For example, it’s become a habit for young people to stay up late and play mobile phones. They rely on takeaway food for food. They only look at whether it’s good or not. It’s not scientific at all. Basic nutrition is comprehensive, let alone regular Take in some precise special nutrients. On the other hand, the number of immune cells in our body is extremely large, and simple blood counts often fail to detect early immune problems.
The so-called early immune problems may be just some subtle problems in our daily lives, which are relatively hidden and easily overlooked. To make a simple analogy, many middle-aged and elderly people often feel unable to lift their energy and feel tired after doing a little bit of work. After going to the hospital for examination, they found that there is no abnormality in various indicators. After a good rest for a few days, the fatigue is relieved. , But it still cannot last for a few days, and the fatigue reappears. When I lay in bed at night, I was obviously very tired, but I couldn't fall asleep. I finally fell asleep and was easily awakened, and then it was even harder to fall asleep.
What's more, there are some middle-aged people who have entered the stage of "medicine jar" ahead of time. As we said yesterday, if a gust of wind blows and others are okay, he has a headache and sneezes; it is also raining without an umbrella, and others will be fine if they change clothes, but he has a series of colds and fevers.
Many people think that these are just minor problems of the body. If you persist, it may pass soon. In fact, these problems are reminding us that our immune system is exhausted enough, and its level of activity is deteriorating.
The story of Bian Que seeing Cai Huangong is believed to be heard by everyone. This story also tells us not to wait until "sickness to the bone marrow" to think of treatment, but to respond when "sickness is in the bone" and make timely adjustments.
Therefore, we must always pay attention to protecting our immune system, pay attention to supplementing more foods that maintain the level of the immune system, increase nutrition, and maintain good living habits, so that we can have enough soldiers with the immune system, fast enough, and strong enough to be able to compete with Victory was achieved in the struggle between the source of the disease and the disease.
In the subsequent course sharing, we will use some more vivid cases to further discuss the relationship between the level of immune system activity and our healthy life.
