These berries are now only necessary for our body – the doctor has listed the miracles they can do

– When is immunity weakened the most and how can we understand this?

– That our immune system is unbalanced, we can only notice that we get sick more often. Also, if we have allergies, skin rashes. If our intestinal function is affected (frequent bloating, diarrhea, defecation with unformed stools) there is a greater chance that we have a balanced immune system.

– What makes the body weaker?

– Everything is simple: insomnia and stress, contempt for the work-rest regime, work until late or at night. When we work more than 8 hours a day, we work on weekends. In addition, a sedentary job and a sedentary lifestyle. After 2 hours of sitting, the nervous system decides that something has happened. The ancient nervous system has known that sitting for a long time means that we are injured and hide during healing, which means that we are vulnerable and must be vigilant; alpha sympathetic nervous system activity increases. The alpha sympathetic nervous system can also be called the stress nervous system. Its increased activity increases the probability of an exaggerated immune response.

Furthermore, alpha sympathetic nervous system activity increases when we receive a lot of information, and especially when that information is alarming. Therefore, one of the main tips is to restrict Internet browsing, reading and viewing news. Believe me, the biggest news will not surprise you. Research shows that to get all the necessary information and not be burdened with unimportant news on a daily basis, it is enough to watch the main news program once a week, during which all the most important weekly news are broadcast.

– How long can weakened immunity be restored?

– Everything is very individual and depends on many factors. If we talk about immunity, I would say that balance is a process, and its harmonious activities are a consequence of our harmonious life.

– What measures to strengthen immunity are most effective?

– In any case, our lifestyle determines a lot. The first number would distinguish the dream. Melatonin has a regulatory effect on immunity. It stimulates the production of immune cells and other elements, but at the same time it is one of the strongest endogenous antioxidants (produced within us) and also has anti-inflammatory effects. It is important to note that the immune balancing effects of melatonin occur during sleep at night. I would not recommend attacking pharmacies to buy melatonin supplements for this reason, as the use of melatonin supplements can inhibit our own melatonin production. But remembering the rhythms of sleep is especially important: go to bed until 22-23. and sleep for about 8 hours.

– Anxiety and stress often affect the quality of sleep.

– Stress management is an extremely broad topic. It is inevitable when it comes to immunity. Understanding how our immunity works is very important. I will mention two aspects. During stress, the activity of the alpha sympathetic nervous system increases, and the stronger your activity, the more likely you are to have an over-response from the immune system (which is undesirable because we want a balanced response). Another aspect is cortisol, one of the most important hormones in the acute response to stress, also called the stress hormone. Cortisol is very important for balancing the immune system. It is the main, perhaps even the only, hormone that reduces the immune response. When you are sick, cortisol is stronger than the immune system. Then it is not possible to fight the infection well enough. If cortisol is not active enough, the immune system will be too strong. But that does not mean that everything is fine. This means that a hyper-broken immune system will force you to respond to many infections, and illnesses can be frequent and prolonged because the immune system will not be able to calm itself in any way. If you suffer a lot, you may need to strengthen your adrenal glands instead of your immunity.

– How important is strong immunity for a person?

– The question is, what do we call strong immunity? Sometimes we get sick due to an inadequate immune response to infection. What we want is a balanced immune response. That answer depends on many things. What matters is how we mobilize the immune system when we get sick and how we reduce its response when it is no longer needed.

To have good immunity, you need to go from mechanisms to causes. If you want to strengthen your immune system, what do you want to strengthen? Cellular or humoral immunity? Congenital or acquired? Intensity, duration, frequency, location? The immune system is not closed or separated from the rest of our body. She is not the main controller of our body. Man cannot isolate himself from the environment. To survive, you need to be open to the world: inhale, exhale, eat, defecate, as well as be psychologically open and flexible. That is why the immune system exists so that we can experience that openness. Try to completely disconnect from the world and not breathe for a couple of minutes or not eat for a couple of weeks. The goal of the immune system is to differentiate myself from myself. But also to distinguish whether to tolerate that “not me” or to fight it. Because really not everything that I am is not dangerous for me is an aggressor for me. At this point, it is already possible to observe the development of disorders of the immune system – excessive or insufficient tolerance.

– What food is important for our body?

– A complete diet is important. I would like to draw attention to not overeating, because digestion is a process that requires energy, and that energy can certainly be diverted to other processes as well. Thus, our digestive enzymes are designed not only for digestion, but also for the destruction of waste (dead cells, unnecessary immune elements), so consuming them only for digestion is a luxury. I would recommend not eating for 3 hours before bed to allow the enzymes to do other work during the night. And if you feel sleepy or heavy after eating, it’s worth thinking about strengthening your pancreas. First of all, by reducing portions and choosing foods that are easier to digest, giving up sugar, white flour (that is, simple carbohydrates), as well as the use of cow’s milk and the daily intake of meat.

– What natural remedies help strengthen immunity?

– Black currants (your leaf tea or your bud hemo concentrate) are a great way to support the adrenal glands (the gland that produces cortisol) and thus maintain a harmonious immune response. Especially if you notice that it takes time to recover. Vitamin C can be used prophylactically (when there are many patients in the environment). Your dose would be about 1g per day. Curcumin, which supports liver function, which is the organ that produces some of the immune elements and destroys the other, is also very suitable. Curcumin also has a good anti-inflammatory effect. Broad leaf tea can be used to support the pancreas (without nutrition). Banana not only supports the pancreas, it also has an anti-inflammatory effect and also helps with upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The evaporation of the essential oils of thyme, lavender and eucalyptus not only has a calming effect on the nervous system (which is important to balance the cortisol response), but also an antibacterial and antiviral effect.

– How to strengthen children’s immunity?

– Since children take over everything from their parents, as well as their lifestyle, it is very important to set a positive example. Children, like adults, feel anxious, so if we worry, so do children. And the measures to increase immunity would be the same except for vitamin C, since children need lower doses based on weight. And instead of eucalyptus essential oil choosing medicinal chamomile.
