At the transition from spring to summer, there is a significant temperature difference, making people with weak immunity prone to colds and illnesses. However, this is also a good time to boost immunity. So, if you want to enhance your immunity, these four reliable methods must be collected!
Three common groups with poor immunity Popularization of science 1. The elderly
The elderly are older and have weaker physical resistance, especially during the transitions between spring and summer, and autumn and winter. They are very prone to getting sick, such as common colds, which can become pneumonia if severe, causing a bigger problem.
2. People with bad temper
People with bad temper often get angry, which puts their body in a state of stress. When the body is tense, it secretes stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which interfere with the normal work of immune cells.
When people get angry, the "guard team" in their body becomes uncoordinated, naturally reducing their defense against viruses, so they are more likely to get sick.
3. People with poor long-term sleep
Poor sleep is like a phone with low battery, and the body's immune system cannot work properly. Sleep is a crucial time for the immune system to "recharge". If one experiences poor sleep for an extended period, their body lacks the opportunity for proper repair, and consequently, the immune system cannot function normally. This is akin to a phone running out of battery; naturally, immunity decreases Popularization of science 1. Don't stay up late
In February 2025, the journal "The Journal of Immunology" published a research paper titled "Impact of sleep deprivation on monocyte subclasses and function". The study pointed out that sleep helps improve the ability of some immune cells to bind to targets, which explains why sleep can enhance immunity and help the body fight infections.
Therefore, don't always stay up late, try to go to bed early every day, and ensure 7-8 hours of sleep, allowing the body sufficient time to rest and recover, while also helping to enhance the body's immunity.
2. Exercise weekly
For people who work long hours sitting down, prolonged sitting can slow down the body's metabolism, leading to fat accumulation and obesity, while also reducing the activity of immune cells.
Maintaining weekly exercise, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes, can improve blood flow in the body, allowing immune cells to reach every corner of the body faster, and discover and eliminate bacteria and viruses more quickly.
3. Expose to Sunlight
Exposure to sunlight can help the body synthesize vitamin D, just like giving the immune system a "nutritional boost". Vitamin D can enhance the function of immune cells, making them more energetic in fighting viruses and bacteria.
When is it suitable to expose to sunlight? It is recommended to do so at 10 am or 4 pm, when the ultraviolet rays are relatively low, to avoid sunburning the skin. The duration of exposure should not exceed half an hour each time.
4. Maintain Optimism
Maintaining optimism can help improve immunity. This emotion is like a "booster" that can promote the release of endorphins in the body, making people feel more relaxed and enhancing the "fighting ability" of immune cells to fight pathogens.
Just like facing difficulties, people with a positive mindset are more likely to overcome challenges. Under the "encouragement" of optimistic emotions, the body's immune system can better protect us from getting sick.
Special groups with poor immunity Popularization of science Many cancer patients, due to poor appetite, abnormal metabolism, and other reasons, cannot eat, leading to a lack of nutrition in the body. Without energy supply for immune cells, their immunity decreases.
Some cancer patients may also experience a decrease in immunity due to the side effects of surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. These treatments, like “heavy weapons”, kill cancer cells but also harm normal cells in the body, including immune cells, causing significant damage to the body's vitality.
vNKT helps activate immunity Popularization of science Nowadays, there are more and more cancer patients. Although surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can remove or shrink tumors, for patients in the intermediate, advanced, or even terminal stages, relying solely on these treatments is insufficient. Surgery and chemotherapy may temporarily alleviate the condition, but those latent and residual cancer cells will return after a period of time.
What should we do in such cases? We need to enhance immunity and build a “wall” for the body to block the residual cancer cells out. This is immunotherapy.
vNKT cell therapy is an immunotherapy method, which involves activating and expanding vNKTimmune cells in vitro to increase their number, thereby enhancing their killing ability against cancer cells.

Founder of Lehe New Medical
Professor Zhang Minghui, a PhD in Immunology from Tsinghua University School of Medicine, has led a research team for over 20 years since the discovery of vNKT cells in 2002. They have accumulated treatment experience in over 700 cases of solid tumors, covering almost all common solid tumors. The research results fully demonstrate the great value of vNKT in the treatment of solid tumors.
It is suitable for patients with high pathological malignancy or a risk of recurrence after surgery; patients whose tumors have been basically controlled but not cured through conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy; patients with persistent high carcinogenic factors; and patients intolerant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. If these patients do not receive effective follow-up treatment after traditional anti-tumor therapy, recurrence, metastasis, or reoccurrence of tumors will be highly probable. In this case, vNKT cell therapy is an ideal follow-up treatment method, which can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.
