The start of the school year always increases the spread of germs. Children are in close contact, distributing objects and encountering viruses and bacteria such as flu/ flu, covid, RSV, mycoplasma, rhinoinus etc.
1 healthy gut, healthy immune system. Up to 80% of our immune cells are in our gut, so it makes sense to optimize immunity through the intestine. The gut gutters protects you from infections by maintaining the intestinal barrier, competing with pathogens for resources and space, immune system training to distinguish harmful germs from beneficial and anti-microbial production. An imbalance in the gut microbicide (from the use of antibiotics, stress, inadequate fibers, etc.) can lead to inappropriate immune regulation, making the body less effective in combating infections. Most people know that probiotic supplementation can help maintain a strong immune system, but what you may not know is that other probiotic strains are facing different conditions, so it is important to find the right type. A supplement with various probiotic strains including high (ER) quantity Galactobacillus rhamnosus It is beneficial to strengthen general immunity. It is also important to help the beneficial “good” bacteria thrive in our gut by eating a variety of whole foods with prebiotics and fibers.
2. Vitamin D: Researchers have found that in addition to taking the annual flu shot, vitamin D is also strong flu. A review of 10 randomized controlled tests considering 4859 people concluded that completion of vitamin D has a preventive effect on the flu. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled test in Japan by comparing vitamin D3 (1200 IU/day) supplements with placebo in school children found that children who received vitamin D3 supplements were reduced by 42%. The study also found that the team that did not take vitamin D had six times more asthma attacks. Another study found that among the 800 military men in Finland, those with lower vitamin D levels needed significantly more days than the active task to recover from upper respiratory tract infections than the highest levels of higher levels (above 40nm). In the context of COVID-19 COVID-19 pandemic guidance, the Scottish government advised people to start taking a daily dose of vitamin D in April 2020. It turns out that people with vitamin D deficiency who had a higher Covid.
Vitamin D plays a very important role in supporting the immune system. “Vitamin D helps your body produce a protein called the pericidine that fights bacteria and viruses,” says Carlos Camargo, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Other studies show that people with adequate levels of vitamin D are less likely to get the flu and when they do, they tend to recover faster than those who are inadequate. In the practice of Dr. Yik, he finds many adults and children in Hong Kong who are inadequate in vitamin D. Before you start taking vitamin D supplements, but check your level so you can complete the right dosage. Excessive vitamin D puts you at a higher risk for kidney stones.
3. N-acetylene cysteine (NAC). This Nutraceutical offers protection to cells as it supports the body’s antioxidant systems during infections and inflammatory conditions by increasing glutathione levels, a powerful antioxidant. Studies show that patients with low levels of glutathione have more severe COVID-19 infections compared to those with higher levels. We also know that in coughing and infections of the upper respiratory system (URTIS), NAC breaks the ties in the mucus, facilitating your body to cough mucus up. Ask your licensed doctor or doctor for the right dosage in your case. For an additional thrust or to clean the excessive vessel, contact Dr. ARDYCE YIK ND for a nebulized NAC session.
4. Consume a healthy diet. Eat more colorful vegetables and fruits such as dark green, carrots and berries, which contain many nutrients and antioxidants. Include immune foods such as garlic, onions, ginger, shiitake/ maitake/ reishi mushrooms, green vegetables and berries in your diet. Vitamin C and zinc play important roles in immune defense, so remember to eat high foods in these nutrients or supplement, if necessary. Click here to read about top healthy foods. Ensure adequate protein intake and consume more good fats. Avoid sugary foods/ drinks and processed foods.
5. Reduce alcohol consumption. Findings from 14 different studies indicate that alcohol consumption increases the risk of pneumonia. The dose-response analysis found that for every 10 to 20 grams of alcohol recruitment per day, there was an 8% increase in the risk of pneumonia (pneumonia acquired by the community, not hospitalization). A standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, which is equivalent to an ordinary beer, a small glass of wine (100 ml) or a bite of alcoholic beverages (30ml). Alcohol consumption can also weaken your immune system. “Eating excessive amounts of alcohol can cause damage to immune cells in the lungs and the upper respiratory system,” explains Dr Aragona Giuseppe, GP and medical advisor to prescription physicians, who in turn can increase the risk of developing more than the virus. Bacteria to pass into the blood and this, in turn, causes the depletion of the three most important cell types in your immune system, macrophages, T- and C-cells. “Stay hydrated with drinking water and healthier, non-alcoholic beverages.
If you are sick, ask for medical care. Dr. Ardyce Yik ND helps adults and children rebuild immunity, of course. Click here to find out how it can help you achieve and maintain optimal health.
