Shouldn’t Talk Be About Building Your Immune System
Warning: The information herein shouldn’t be considered as medical advice remember too consult your doctor.
The heightened state of the immune system lasts for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy to allow for the fetus to get fully established. Over the following 15 weeks, the mother’s immune system is repressed to allow for the fetal cells to grow and develop.
What are vaccines How does a vaccine work?
Vaccines give you immunity to a disease without you getting sick first. They are made using killed or weakened versions of the disease-causing germ or parts of the germ (called antigens). For some vaccines, genetic engineering is used to make the antigens used in the vaccine.
MRC-5 is the most commonly used fibroblast-like human diploid cells (HDC) in the production of viral vaccines. It was originally derived from human lung tissues of a 14-week-old male fetus and able to continuously grow for more than 40 passages while keeping normal diploid karyotype
There are 4 main types of vaccines:
- Live-attenuated vaccines-Attenuated. A disease-causing virus or bacterium that is weakened in a laboratory so it cannot cause disease. Live attenuated viruses are often used as vaccines because, although weakened, they can stimulate a strong immune response
- Inactivated vaccines-The measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine are examples. Killed (inactivated) vaccines are made from a protein or other small pieces taken from a virus or bacteria. The whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine is an example
- Subunit-Subunit vaccines are composed of protein or glycoprotein components of a pathogen that are capable of inducing a protective immune response and may be produced by conventional biochemical or recombinant DNA technologies. recombinant, polysaccharide, and conjugate vaccines.
- Toxoid vaccines-Toxoid vaccines use a toxin (harmful product) made by the germ that causes a disease. They create immunity to the parts of the germ that cause a disease instead of the germ itself. That means the immune response is targeted to the toxin instead of the whole germ.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
Water is the best. Many of us have heard that we should drink eight, eight-ounce glasses of water per day. That can be hard to do. Instead, try drinking a glass of water when you wake up to start your day off right. Your body is dehydrated from sleeping, so this is a great way to remedy that immediately. Another tip: If you like warm drinks in the winter, try non-caffeinated teas, which you can include in your daily water tally. - 2.Exercise regularly.
We often think of exercise as a way to prevent chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and high blood pressure, or as a way to keep weight in control. But exercise also can contribute to general good health including a healthy immune system. Exercise can promote good blood circulation, which allows your cells and substances of the immune system to move through your body freely to do their job efficiently. - 3.Stress less.
Stress drains your ability to stay strong. If you have big or little stressors daily, your system is constantly pushed to overcome that stress. One way I de-stress is by giving myself time for “self-care.” This means different things for different people, but essentially it’s doing things that “refill your tank.” I like to read a good book, get a massage or exercise. Even singing or prayer can lift me up. - 4.Get a good night’s sleep.
Sleep is a regenerative process for your body. When you are sleep deprived your natural immune cells, or T cells, go down, and inflammatory cytokines (inflammation cells) go up. That means good sleep results in strengthening your immunity. - Eat foods with probiotics.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations defines probiotics as “live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit.” Research shows that probiotics are some of the best foods to boost immunity. Include regularly eating fermented and cultured foods that contain probiotics (look for “live active cultures” on the label). Some foods that contain probiotics are:
Foods That Help to Build the Immune System
sauerkraut, kombucha, black or green tea, vegetables, quinoa, fruits, probiotic supplement, and kimchi.
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for you, especially your digestive system. We usually think of these as germs that cause diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called “good” or “helpful” bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.
