How to improve immunity? Improve the physical quality of pregnant mothers in an all-round way
What methods do pregnant mothers have to improve their immunity?
1、 Sleep
When people sleep, their bodies will produce a sleep factor called cell wall acid, which can promote the increase of white blood cells, the activation of macrophages, and the enhancement of liver function, thus eliminating bacterial viruses that invade the body. Pregnancy requires more sleep than usual, and 8-10 hours of sleep every day. It's better to fall asleep at 9 p.m. and sleep for another 1-2 hours at noon. If office workers cannot take a nap, they should go to sleep earlier at night.
The following methods can effectively improve sleep:
1. Drink a cup of hot milk before going to bed.
2. Avoid emotional excitement 4~6 hours before going to bed.
3. Keep the bedroom temperature between 18 ℃ and 22 ℃.
4. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes "cool head and hot feet". In summer, you can use ice pillows and jade pillows. In winter, you must use hot water to soak your feet well before going to bed.
In addition to rich and comprehensive nutrition and adequate sleep, we should also pay attention to indoor cleanliness and strengthen exercise.
2、 Dietotherapy
The main way for expectant mothers to improve their immunity through diet is to supplement trace elements such as iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin C from food. Adequate protein, proper amount of vitamins and some trace elements have immune regulation function.
Protein is the material basis of the defense function of the immune system of expectant mothers. If protein nutrition is deficient, it will affect the formation of immune cells and antibodies, leading to the decline of the body's resistance to disease, and various infectious diseases will take advantage of the situation.
Vitamin A, C, E, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, folic acid and taurine are all essential nutrients for expectant mothers to maintain normal physiological functions, and their lack will also lead to the reduction of immune function.
Copper, iron, zinc and other essential trace elements are also inseparable from immune function. If expectant mothers lack these elements, they will inhibit immune function, and the incidence of body infection will also increase.
In fact, each nutrient has its own responsibility, and none of them is dispensable. Because the vitality of immune cells is managed by protein, fat, carbohydrate, inorganic salt, vitamins and other nutrients together, expectant mothers should follow the principle of balanced diet. Every day, they should ensure 1 to 2 bags of milk or yogurt, 3 eggs, 5 to 6 pairs of fish, meat and beans, and more than 4 kinds of fresh vegetables, especially colored vegetables, 3~4 fruits, in addition to vegetable oil, condiments, a few bacteria, algae and nuts, try to eat more than 20 kinds of food every day, and achieve meat and vegetable, dry and cooked, and acid-base balance.
The medicine and food are of the same origin. Choosing the food that can clear away heat, detoxify and moisten the lungs can also achieve the therapeutic effect of improving immunity.
3、 Daily life
1. Pay attention to the fact that when the indoor air is not in circulation, the pollution degree is dozens of times more serious than that of the outdoor air, which is very likely to cause respiratory diseases. Also, clean the room in time, clean up the sanitary dead corner, and prevent bacteria from breeding; Pregnant women should change their bedding once a week.
2. Increase indoor relative humidity Pregnant women should drink more water at ordinary times to prevent respiratory mucosa damage; Put a basin of water on the heater to evaporate the water; Hang some wet clothes and towels indoors; Humidify with air humidifier or negative oxygen ion generator.
3. Regularly carry out outdoor activities to enhance the adaptability to cold air. In cold winter, pregnant women prefer "cats" in warm rooms to participate in outdoor activities, which will reduce their adaptability to cold air. Every day from 10:00 am to 11:00 am, and from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm, the outdoor temperature is high and the air is good. Pregnant women should come out here for about 30-60 minutes. During outdoor activities, windows are just opened at home to ventilate and purify the air, which also helps prevent colds.
4. Strengthen self-protection awareness If you plan to become pregnant in late winter and early spring, it is recommended to inject influenza vaccine in advance, and then conceive 2 to 3 months after the injection. Pregnant women should wear masks in hospitals or crowded places; Wash your hands with running water and soap immediately before and after meals, after going out and coming back, after sneezing, coughing and cleaning your nose.
5. Drink plenty of water and eat more fruits and vegetables. Drinking a lot of water can speed up the circulation of the body, help to take the virus away from the body, and can also prevent dehydration, which is one of the complications of colds.
Tip: As long as you have comprehensive nutrition, sufficient sleep and more exercise, your body immunity will naturally improve, and your anti-virus ability will also become stronger, ensuring the health of your baby.
