The immune system is a set protective equipment, which the body uses to resist bacteria and viruses. As a result of the failure of this system, very serious diseases arise.

Lack of sleep poor nutrition and stress wreak havoc on your body's defenses, and you're at risk of getting sick when you're tired or anxious because your body's ability to fight infection is weakened. For the immune system to work effectively, it is necessary to get enough sleep and follow the principles of healthy balanced nutrition, that is, include it in your diet every day fresh vegetables and fruits.

Regular exercise also helps strengthen immune system because they improve blood circulation. Should also be avoided overuse alcohol and smoking. Alcoholic drinks and cigarettes introduce toxins into the body and force the excretory system to work harder.

Complementary therapy- massage, reflexology and acupressure are also designed to stimulate the immune system. Like physical exercise, all these methods improve blood circulation and, therefore, activate the body. Regular use any of them is the best way to maintain wellness.

Impact on targeted areas should be carried out systematically, i.e. every day. A break of 1-2 days quickly leads to a decrease in efficiency. However, it is better to massage at least 1-3 times a day than not at all.

Additional Tips

In addition to influencing bioactive points, Alla Alekseevna Umanskaya advises performing daily sanitation of the oral cavity, nose, and pharynx. According to the doctor, such daily actions help the body fight bacteria, which frees up the body’s reserve forces to fight various chronic diseases and leads to more quick recovery. The first volume of the book “The Shield from All Diseases” is devoted to this topic.

Prevention is always better than cure. In order to prevent diseases from taking over the body, you need to know how to strengthen the body's natural defense mechanisms - the immune system. There are three main ways to strengthen your immune system: eat right, keep your body in good shape, and hit points to strengthen your immune system. Also in this case, it is important to understand why the immune system weakens. This will help determine the most weak points in protection and strengthen the immune system. This article will tell you which factors are detrimental to the immune system, as well as stimulation of which points helps strengthen it.

The main reasons for weakening and points for strengthening immunity

If you notice that you get sick much more often than the people around you, you should identify the reason for the weakening of your immune system, which makes you more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. Stimulating the points to strengthen the immune system will have a certain effect, but without eliminating the underlying problem, it will be difficult to restore the body’s defenses. Therefore, to strengthen the immune system you need:

firstly, find the reason why it is weakened and take appropriate measures;
secondly, develop the habit of stimulating the points to strengthen the immune system.

What factors contribute to a weakened immune system?

Before you start massaging immunity points, make sure that the factors described below are not the real reason weakening your body's defenses.

Stress – it is an integral part of the modern lifestyle. However, many people ignore its harmful effects on health. Increased levels cortisol leads to suppression of the production of the hormone prostaglandin, which maintains immune function.

Lack of sleep - not only a method of rejuvenation and replenishment of strength, it is necessary for the production of leukocytes. If you sleep less than 7 hours a day, your ability to protect yourself from viral infections reduced.

Lack of movement – almost any job is based on using a computer and being in sitting position for at least 8 hours. As a result, a person's blood circulation is impaired and, as a result, the flow of antibodies that fight infections.

Unbalanced diet (and obesity) – Foods loaded with preservatives, sugars and pesticides ultimately reduce the ability of white blood cells to fight off bacteria. Thus, the immune system is weakened.

Points for strengthening the immune system - how to activate protective functions

Reflexology helps get rid of:

migraines;
pain in various parts bodies4
indigestion;
stress;
vision problems;
asthma, etc.

Reflexology also suggests trying immune point massage, which will take your defenses to the next level.

This point for immunity is located under the center sternum. Useful properties stimulation of this point consists of influencing the thymus, which regulates the function of mechanisms cellular immunity. It also helps combat stress and anxiety.
The next point of interest to us is located under the collarbone, in the cavity of the sternum. It not only improves immune system function, but also helps relieve anxiety, nasal congestion and breathing problems.
The next point we are considering is located in the middle between the very high point talus and Achilles tendon. Its stimulation on both legs helps strengthen the immune system, and also improves kidney function and helps with:

asthma;
sore throat;
headaches.

Finding this point for immunity is simple: it is located on the top of the foot, near the junction of the big and “index” toe. Her massage on both legs stimulates blood circulation and regulates the flow of Qi. What else is this point useful for:

vision problems;
insomnia;
menstrual pain;
pain in the lower back;
headaches.

Stimulation of the next point is prohibited during pregnancy. It is located at the intersection of the meridians of the spleen, liver and kidneys, which is why it is called the “intersection of three yins.” You can find it at a distance equal to the width of three fingers from the inside of the talus. Massaging this point helps:

renew energy;
strengthen the immune system;
get rid of gynecological problems.

A couple of minutes of exposure to this point for immunity (and not only) will help fill the body with energy and improve immune function. Its location: 4 fingers width down from the bottom edge kneecap, With outside tibia.

We believe that stimulation of immune points alone will not be enough to maximum effect. Therefore, if you decide to get serious about improving your work protective systems body, it is recommended to take other measures aimed at strengthening the immune system, namely: proper nutrition and adequate levels of physical activity.
