How do ordinary people know if their immunity is good? What symptoms in the body indicate poor immunity? Doctors say that the following symptoms should be watched out for!! ~ Invite our expert, Dr. Chen Weiqian of Formosa Biomedical i-Medical Health Clinic, to tell you which physical conditions to pay attention to!
❐ How to detect problems with immunity?
We can observe whether there is a problem with immunity from several directions:

Frequent colds: If the frequency of colds is relatively high, or if they are more serious, it means that our body's resistance is relatively insufficient.
Poor stomach and intestines: For example, frequent bloating, diarrhea, or indigestion, constipation, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. You should also be careful about stomach and intestine symptoms because they are related to poor immunity.
Easy to fatigue: If you are often easily tired and you can't rest enough, it means that your body is overloaded. Long-term stress may increase our stress hormones, which will weaken the number and function of immune cells. Lack of sleep will also affect the formation of these immune cells. If you are often easily tired, you may want to consider whether you should take a good rest, which is very important for the immune system.
Wounds that are not easy to heal: Wounds that are not easy to heal indicate that the body's repair speed is slower, which may be due to insufficient nutrition or unhealthy blood vessels, which will also affect the production and transportation of immune cells. Therefore, poor immunity may make our wounds heal slower. Large wounds take longer to heal. Small wounds may sometimes heal in two or three days, and there is no problem with water, but some wounds may take a month or even two months. If the immune system is not good, it will take longer to heal.
Diabetes, three highs, abdominal obesity: If you have diabetes, three highs, or a large waist circumference and more abdominal fat, your immunity may also be affected.
Autoimmune disease: Autoimmunity is when your own immune cells attack some of your own organs, sometimes joints, sometimes thyroid glands, and sometimes some structures of the eyes. This situation is also a state of chronic inflammation of the body, so it is also a kind of internal consumption. So when we fight against foreign germs, its strength will be less, because in order to suppress the autoimmune condition and not make the body so uncomfortable, doctors usually prescribe some steroids, immunosuppressants, immunomodulators, etc., which will suppress the immunity again. So if there is really an autoimmune condition, in addition to good treatment and control, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, vaccination is actually quite important to provide yourself with more protection.
❐ How to know whether the immunity is good or not?
It is important to have good immunity, but how do we know whether our immunity is good or not? The body's immune system is divided into many parts, and there is no common clear indicator.
We can give an example, do we usually feel that our physical condition is healthy? Do we feel that our body is comfortable? If most of the time you feel that you are healthy, your body is comfortable, your mood is good, your diet and exercise are healthy, and you sleep well, then usually in this case, your immunity will not be too bad.
All systems of the body will affect immunity, including our gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, or whether hormones are balanced, whether nutrients are sufficient, etc.
❐ The relationship between metabolism and immunity?
When we have high blood sugar or have more fat cells in the body, the body will be in a state of mild chronic inflammation. In the state of chronic inflammation, it has actually been consumed for a long time. When foreign pathogens invade, there are not enough troops to fight these foreign bacteria or viruses, so our immunity will be consumed.
Therefore, people with diabetes are more likely to get respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and even new coronary pneumonia, and the risk of infection will be higher.
❐ The relationship between the stomach and immunity?
The largest immune organ in the body is the gastrointestinal tract, because the gastrointestinal tract is exposed to a lot of foreign things every day, and 70% of the body's immune cells are around our gastrointestinal tract. The main reason is that the gastrointestinal tract is the place with the most contact with the outside world. When we eat the right things and take good care of our stomach, our immune system will also be better.
