Although the snow scene is beautiful, it is fun to play in the snow, but don’t forget to protect yourself from the cold. After all, when winter comes, the flu will follow.

Especially this year, the new crown epidemic has not yet gone far, and it has also brought greater challenges to the prevention and control of this epidemic. In the recent period, confirmed cases and suspected cases have appeared in many places in China——

The epidemic and flu are superimposed, and if the autoimmunity is not in place at this time, it will be vulnerable to virus attack. Therefore, the task of improving self-immunity is imminent.

Improve immunity, try these 3 tricks

1

Regular schedule

Irregular work and rest, staying up late for a long time, and lack of sleep can destroy the body's immune system and make people vulnerable to diseases related to reduced immunity, such as urticaria and shingles.

Suggest

Combine work and rest, try not to stay up late, adults should ensure at least 7 hours of sleep a day. In addition, remembering "3 nos" before going to bed is helpful for sleep.

①Don't play with mobile phones

The screen light of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets can stimulate the human body and reduce the secretion of melatonin. Melatonin can shorten the time to fall asleep and improve the quality of sleep. Once the secretion is reduced, the quality of sleep will naturally be compromised. So, half an hour before going to bed, stop playing with your mobile phone.

②Don’t eat supper

Eating too much before going to bed can easily stimulate the brain, thereby producing excitement and reducing sleepiness. Therefore, it is best not to eat 1 to 2 hours before going to bed. If you feel hungry, you can eat a few biscuits and drink a glass of milk. Don't eat too much.

③Do not exercise vigorously

Strenuous exercise will increase your heart rate, increase your breathing, and increase your spirits, which is not conducive to falling asleep smoothly. Friends who have exercise habits at night can do it 2 to 3 hours before going to bed.

2

Exercise

Proper exercise can improve the pumping function of the heart, allowing immune cells to function throughout the body through blood circulation.

Suggest

Exercise 5 times a week.

It should be noted that it is winter and the temperature is low. It is best to choose indoor sports venues to avoid colds.

Sports events are mainly softer, low-intensity events, such as jogging, brisk walking, Tai Chi, Baduan Jin, etc.

When exercising, you should avoid a lot of sweating, so as to avoid the cold wind blowing, causing headaches and brain fever, usually with warm hands and feet, ruddy complexion, and slight sweating. At the same time, clothing should not be too thick during exercise, and clothing should be added to keep warm after exercise.

Supplement Vitamin C appropriately

A proper amount of vitamin C supplementation is helpful to improve the body's immunity, which is specifically manifested in the three lines of defense of the immune system——

Help maintain the integrity of skin and mucous membranes

As the first line of defense of the immune system, skin and mucous membranes can keep most of the bacteria and viruses out of the body, and proper intake of vitamin C can help maintain the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes.

Promote phagocytosis of phagocytes

The second line of defense of the immune system is the bactericidal substances and phagocytes in body fluids, which can play the role of enveloping → engulfing → killing bacteria and other pathogens.

Vitamin C can improve the phagocytosis of phagocytes. For example, the phagocytic function of white blood cells depends on the level of plasma vitamin C. If the phagocytosis is strong, the ability to resist bacteria and other pathogens will be correspondingly enhanced.

Promote the differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes

The third line of defense of the immune system includes humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Vitamin C can promote the differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes, and through antioxidant effects, promote the formation of antibodies, making this third line of defense "firmer"!

In addition, vitamin C can also assist in the treatment of early viral colds and shorten the course of the disease.

Supplement vitamin C, are you still eating oranges?

Vitamin C is so good, how to make it up?

1

Dietary supplement

Such as eating oranges, tangerines, grapefruits and other foods with high vitamin C content.

This is a more straightforward method, but not the most effective.

According to the "Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Residents", the daily intake of vitamin C for adults should be 100mg. If you want to achieve the effect of preventing chronic diseases, the recommended intake is 200mg.

The vitamin C content of oranges is 33mg/100g, and the vitamin C content of lemons is 22 mg/100g. If you want to reach 100mg, you have to eat at least half a catty of oranges and a catty of lemons. The amount of intake required is so large that few people can persist.

Vitamin C supplements

Currently, vitamin C supplements on the market are mainly divided into two categories: synthetic vitamin C and natural vitamin C.

Synthetic dimension C

Most of them are made by chemical synthesis after fermentation. Generally, the price is relatively affordable and there is no pressure to buy.

However, the composition is relatively single, and it is usually used as a medicine, or as a stabilizer or forming agent containing chemically synthesized components, which needs to be metabolized in the liver, which may increase the burden on the liver. Long-term intake may also form calcium oxalate stones.

Natural Vitamin C

Concentrated from fresh fruit and vegetable juice, it is closer to the needs of food supplements.

Compared with synthetic vitamin C, natural vitamin C is more abundant.

Take natural vitamin C from acerola cherries as an example. In addition to vitamin C, it also contains vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin P, minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as nutrients such as carotene and dietary fiber.

The existence of these substances can help enhance the activity of vitamin C, stabilize and strengthen the role of vitamin C, and assist in the development of the physiological functions of vitamin C. This also makes natural vitamin C excellent in anti-oxidation, strengthening immunity, and fighting chronic diseases. In synthetic dimension C.

Green and natural: 100% sourced from Brazilian acerola cherry

Acerola cherries are not ordinary cherries. They belong to the order Acerola (Ordinary cherry belongs to Rosales). They contain a lot of natural vitamin C. On average, every 100g of acerola cherries contains 2440mg vitamin C4, which is 224 times that of ordinary cherries and 110 times that of lemons. It is one of the fruits with the highest vitamin C content.

In Brazil, whenever people catch a cold and have a fever, they eat a lot of acerola cherries to help them get better faster.

At the same time, acerola cherries also contain a variety of phytonutrients, such as carotenoids, anthocyanins, etc. These nutrients are naturally symbiotic with vitamin C and can assist vitamin C to function.

The natural vitamin C of Yangshengtang, 52.8mg vitamin C per tablet is all derived from this Brazilian acerola cherry, which is green and natural.

No additives: full physical transformation

The best picking period of acerola cherries is only 18 days, and the freshness period is short. Once the fruit leaves the branches, its nutrients will be lost quickly, so it is difficult to eat fresh acerola cherries in China.

In response to this problem, Yangshengtang cleaned and squeezed the acerola cherries in Brazil within 2 hours after hand-picking the acerola cherries, and transported them to the French factory in cold storage at minus 18°C, and then used low-temperature spray drying technology to remove the acerola The moisture in the cherries is instantly powdered to maximize the retention of nutrients and active ingredients in acerola cherries.

Moreover, the natural vitamin C of Yangshengtang does not add synthetic vitamin C, artificial coloring, and preservatives during the processing process, which preserves the natural flavor and nutrients of acerola to the greatest extent.
