If your body exhibits these six symptoms, it may indicate a problem with your immunity!

When immunity is insufficient, the body's self-repair ability will also decrease, and the speed of wound healing will significantly slow down. For healthy people, if any part of the body is accidentally scratched, it will generally recover after a few days; but for people with low immunity, even minor abrasions may cause prolonged non-healing, and even lead to infections, redness, swelling, and other conditions.

As an important part of the immune system, the gastrointestinal tract is more vulnerable to "attacks" from external adverse factors when immunity is low. For example, even if someone eats the same food as others, they may experience symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, while others remain unaffected. In addition, problems such as indigestion, abdominal distension, and diarrhea may also occur, and the gastrointestinal tract's tolerance to food is significantly reduced. [2]

The immune system plays a crucial role in fighting cancer cells. When immunity is low, the body's ability to monitor and eliminate abnormal cells in the body weakens, and cancer cells may take advantage of this weakness and gradually develop into tumors. It can be said that low immunity is one of the important potential factors for the occurrence of cancer, and the decline of its function will promote the growth and progression of tumors to some extent.

How to improve immunity?

       

1. Adjust lifestyle    

Ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, do not overexert yourself, and maintain a balance between work and rest, allowing your body to fully rest and recover.

2. Eat reasonably and healthily    

Reduce meat consumption and increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. Avoid overeating and provide comprehensive and adequate nutritional support for the body.

3. Moderate exercise    

Moderate exercise helps enhance immunity. Persisting in a certain amount of exercise every day, such as walking, cycling, swimming, etc., is a good choice. However, attention should be paid to the method of exercise to prevent overexertion. [3]

4. Maintain a pleasant mood    

Positive emotions help strengthen the immune system's function and reduce the inhibitory effect of stress hormones on immunity. When emotions are restless, relaxation techniques such as active mindfulness can be employed for adjustment.

Immunity is an important safeguard for our physical health. By gaining a deep understanding of immunity-related knowledge, paying close attention to various signals emitted by the body, and developing good lifestyle habits, we can make our bodies stronger, resist the invasion of diseases, and embark on a healthy and vibrant life chapter.

Communicate with Professor Zhang Minghui's team

Zhang Minghui  Founder of Lehexin Medical and Ph.D. in Immunology from Tsinghua University School of Medicine

Since the discovery of vNKT cells in 2002, Professor Zhang Minghui's research team has embarked on a journey spanning over 20 years, accumulating treatment experience from over 700 cases of solid tumors, covering almost all common types of solid tumors. The research findings have fully demonstrated the immense value of vNKT in the treatment of solid tumors.

       

       

Suitable for postoperative patients with high malignant potential or at risk of recurrence; patients whose tumors have been largely controlled but not cured through conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy; patients with persistent high carcinogenic factors. If these patients do not undergo effective follow-up treatment after traditional anti-tumor therapy, the probability of recurrence, metastasis, or re-emergence of tumors will be high. In this case, vNKT cell therapy is an ideal follow-up treatment method that can significantly improve patient prognosis.
