Can hydrogen improve immunity?
Aug 08, 2021
The Chinese people's understanding of immunity mainly refers to the positive effect, which refers to the body's resistance, rather than the immune function of modern medicine. Strictly speaking, equating immunity with resistance means seeing the positive value of immune function and ignoring the destructive power of the immune system. Simply put, the immune system allows us to avoid serious damage and the destruction of foreign microorganisms, and even helps our body repair damaged and damaged tissues, and maintain normal body functions to the maximum extent. For example, if we have a wound on our skin and bacteria grow here, an infection has occurred. After infection, the body activates the immune system, and immune inflammatory response occurs through immune cells. We will notice a typical change is the phenomenon of local redness, swelling, heat and pain. If the infection is severe and the inflammatory response is severe, reactions such as abscesses will occur, and finally infection It gradually subsided, and the wound became scarred or completely returned to normal. If this process fails, the bacteria will spread from the wound to the whole body, which can cause sepsis and even death of the whole body. In this process, the immune system is basically good. But despite this, the inflammation caused by the immune response can also cause pain, temporary or permanent damage to the tissue structure, and changes in the body's energy metabolism, such as fever. Therefore, the immune response has the function of fighting against injury and infection, and it also needs to pay a certain price. What's more troublesome is that the immune system itself can also be disturbed. The more common one is allergic reactions caused by over-immune reactions. Generally, allergic reactions are caused by our body's over-sensitive response to foreign antigens such as pollen mites that are not seriously harmful. Another more harmful problem is autoimmune disease. The core of the problem is that the immune system has an immune attack on the body's own components and cells, and treats itself as an enemy. The immune system, regardless of enemy or enemy, is extremely harmful. Typical examples include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and type 1 diabetes. In this case, the immune system is out of control or over-activated. If it is to further improve the function, isn't it just for the chaos. Therefore, from the perspective that the immune system may cause harm to the body itself, improving immunity is not a very good description, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. At least the academic community does not like to use this expression. Is there a better situation for improving immunity? If the human body experiences a decline in immune system function, and i...
