Dr. Yang Tiesheng
When immunity is poor, comprehensive measures should be taken to improve it:
1. **Balanced diet**: Consume more foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and legumes to enhance the body's resistance.
2. **Regular作息**: Ensure adequate sleep and avoid staying up late, which helps in physical recovery and boosts immunity.
3. **Moderate exercise**: Engage in moderate aerobic activities, such as walking, jogging, or swimming, to strengthen physical fitness and improve immunity.
4. **Stress reduction**: Learn to relax the mind and body, and reduce anxiety and stress, as chronic stress can impair immune system function.
5. **Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption**: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol intake, as these unhealthy habits weaken the immune system.
6. **Regular check-ups**: Pay attention to your health status, undergo regular medical examinations, and promptly detect and treat potential health issues.
