Patient's Query
Hello doctor.
I am a 35-year-old woman. Can you give me a quick rundown of how the immune system operates and how it protects the body from infections and diseases? What function does diet play in promoting immune system health? Are there any particular foods or dietary habits I should follow to increase my immunity? Are there any supplements or vitamins that have been shown to boost immunity? If so, what are the suggested quantities and precautions? How do elements such as sleep, stress management, and physical activity impact immune function? What dietary and lifestyle adjustments can I make to help my immune system? What are the most important hygiene measures for preventing the spread of illnesses and supporting a healthy immune system?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The immune system is a complicated immunoglobulin system that helps in fighting against foreign substances in the body system by binding and phagocytosis. The importance of a healthy, balanced diet in the development of the immune system is aided by the availability of proteins and amino acids that aid in the development of immunoglobulins. Protein-rich foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can help to create an immunological complex. Vitamins B12 and B6 are abundant in food, fruits, and vitamin supplements and should be taken monthly to create immunoglobulin. When ingesting them, no precautions are taken. Physical activities, stress, and a lack of sleep will all affect immunoglobulin levels. So, go to bed early, exercise often, reduce stress, and use your personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand sanitizers on a regular basis.
I hope this helps. Thank you.
