When immunity is low, it is important to focus on a balanced diet, ensuring sufficient intake of proteins, vitamins, and minerals to support the body's basic immune functions. Maintain adequate sleep, as quality sleep helps the body recover and strengthens immunity. Additionally, regular exercise is key to boosting immunity; moderate physical activity promotes blood circulation and enhances the body's resistance. At the same time, reducing stress and maintaining a cheerful mood are also crucial, as prolonged mental tension can weaken the immune system. Moreover, practicing good personal hygiene and avoiding contact with pathogens are fundamental to disease prevention and maintaining immune health. If symptoms of low immunity persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
