Have you ever searched ‘why are you tired even if you sleep’ or ‘why is it hard to get up in the morning’ in the search box? We always feel tired and heavy, but we often find and eat stimulating and sweet foods to relieve stress. These eating habits lead to minor but minor diseases such as indigestion and reflux esophagitis, which reduce the quality of life. book <완전 면역>says that all diseases, from minor diseases experienced by modern people to major diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, are related to ‘immunity’. The author, who worked at the National Cancer Center and the Seoul National University Medical Research Institute, emphasizes that if you correct the order of your body and develop immunity, you can escape from various diseases and live a healthy life.
What is Immunity?
It refers to the power of our body to process pathogens such as bacteria and viruses or foreign substances generated in the body. In other words, it is the ability to resist germs by producing antibodies against germs, viruses, and foreign substances entering the body.
Immunity is a problem when its power is too weak, and it becomes a problem when it is too strong. If the immune system is weak, it cannot fight against pathogens, and if it is too strong, the body attacks itself. A condition in which the body attacks itself is called an autoimmune disease. This is often caused by an imbalance of immunity due to various factors rather than a genetic area inherited from parents.
Immunity is the most important factor in keeping the body in good order. Then, what should the immune system do to work exquisitely and well? Metabolic activity must be carried out smoothly throughout the body. In other words, when the nutrients necessary for the body are properly supplied and waste products are well discharged, immunity becomes stronger.
Meaning of ‘Eat well, buy well, live well’
In order to properly fill our body with nutrients, we need to check our eating habits. You need to make sure that you are not eating foods that cause toxins to build up in your body, and that you are not overeating. Due to the Corona 19 virus, various nutrients are not evenly contained in the delivery food, high carbohydrate, and animal protein-oriented diet. In particular, fiber is excluded, so it is difficult to ‘digest’. If our body does not completely digest food, toxins build up in the body. It is the same reason that overeating is bad for the body. It causes the body to not digest everything normally, resulting in a buildup of toxins.
In the case of people with weak immunity, it is necessary to check whether the waste products ‘detoxification’ and ‘discharge’ are going well. When unnecessary things accumulate in the body, the cells of our body try to get rid of them, and inflammation occurs in this process. If this continues, microscopic inflammation turns into long-term inflammation, causing various diseases.
The author emphasizes that in order for our bodies to be healthy, complete digestion must occur so that waste products and toxins do not accumulate. However, digestion can only be thought of as stomach health, but it is not just a matter of stomach health. Digestion is also related to the liver, kidneys, and lymph, and the book gives two major reasons for this.
1. The liver produces immune substances
Organs responsible for immunity include bone marrow, lymph nodes, immune cells in the blood, and immune cells in the submucosa. Nutrients that produce these immune cells and proteins are produced in the liver. If the liver is healthy, it produces this nutrient well, but if the liver function is poor, it cannot produce it properly. In addition, the liver is an important organ directly related to the body’s metabolism and the health of the kidneys, gallbladder, and lungs.
As the ‘detox factory’, the liver needs to be given time to rest. If the liver continues to work to eliminate toxins that continue to build up in the body, the liver is bound to be damaged. Food that is not completely digested here makes the liver work for a long time and causes toxins to accumulate in the body. In order to give the liver a ‘rest’, we should aim for a fiber-oriented diet rather than an animal protein-oriented diet, and reduce delivery food so that our body can digest food properly.
2. Importance of Lymph Circulation
The 500 lymph nodes in the body are channels through which immune cells move. Lymph plays a role in removing fat and waste and removing germs and viruses. It sends toxins to the liver so that they can be sent out of the body.
If the lymph is not circulated, bile secretion is not smooth, so digestion is not good, and the inside becomes bloated and uncomfortable. This causes toxins to accumulate in the body, and eventually makes it a ‘constitution’ that makes it easy to get sick.
In order for the lymph to circulate smoothly, you need to move your body. It is good to do enough physical activity so that the lymph can move, and avoid tight clothes, belts, boots, etc. that block the lymph.
