Introduction
Low immunity can generally be improved through proper调理 (regulation). For individuals with weakened immune systems, symptoms can be alleviated by adjusting dietary habits—consuming more foods rich in protein and vitamins—and by maintaining regular sleep patterns and managing emotional well-being. Additionally, actively participating in outdoor activities and aerobic exercise can promote blood circulation and metabolism, helping to strengthen the body's immune system.

Generally, low immunity can be improved through proper调理 (regulation and adjustment). Specific details are as follows:

Immunity refers to the body's ability to resist invasion by external pathogens and maintain internal environmental stability. When immunity is low, the body becomes more susceptible to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms, leading to various disease symptoms. Low immunity is usually caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits and poor diet. Frequently staying up late, smoking, drinking alcohol, picky eating, and prolonged lack of rest can all contribute to weakened immunity, resulting in symptoms such as physical fatigue, mental sluggishness, and weakness in the limbs. For individuals with low immunity, adjusting the diet—such as consuming more foods rich in protein and vitamins—can help alleviate the condition. Additionally, maintaining regular sleep patterns and managing emotional well-being are also beneficial. Engaging actively in outdoor exercises, such as jogging, cycling, or playing football, is recommended. Aerobic activities promote blood circulation and metabolism, thereby helping to enhance the body’s immune function.

It is advised that patients seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital if they experience any discomfort, to prevent potentially serious adverse effects.
