What are the symptoms of improved immunity

In fact, there is no "signature symptom" that is specific enough to improve immunity. The most intuitive feeling is that there are fewer daily ailments and the disease recovers faster. Most of the other various statements are actually not that accurate.

In the past two years, I would catch a cold every time the seasons changed from spring to autumn. I couldn’t suppress the cough for half a month. Last year, I gritted my teeth and started swimming one kilometer three nights a week. I forced myself to eat a pound of green leafy vegetables every day. In the spring of this year, a wave of flu at the company knocked out almost half of my body. Man, my throat felt tight in the afternoon of the first day, so I drank two cups of warm salt water and went to bed early. When I woke up the next day, nothing happened. This state of silently carrying the small virus is the most real change in immunity that I can feel.

Of course, some people say that the urticaria and oral ulcers that they had repeatedly in the past rarely come to their doorsteps now, and they no longer need to carry allergy medicine all day long when the seasons change. The reduction of these small problems related to immune imbalance does also show that the immune status is improving. However, many doctors in the Department of Immunology have mentioned that you should not attribute "better energy" and "smooth bowel movements" to improving immunity. These are more likely to be side effects of your recent work and rest patterns and healthy food. They have no direct causal relationship with the activity of immune cells in the blood and the level of immunoglobulins. To accurately judge whether immunity has been improved, you still have to rely on blood draws for targeted tests such as immunoglobulins and lymphocyte subpopulations. It is easy to deviate from guessing based on your own feelings.

I have read a lot of bloggers saying that "improving immunity will lead to detoxification reaction". Low-grade fever, acne, and rashes are all the body's elimination of diseases. My friend believed this before. It was obviously a spring allergy. He had to endure it for three days. In the end, he was so breathless that he couldn't even go downstairs. When he went to the emergency room, the doctor said that if he came two days later, he would develop asthma. In fact, there is no "detoxification reaction". If uncomfortable and abnormal symptoms suddenly appear, first consider whether you are sick. Don't rely on "improving your immunity". Delaying treatment will only cause trouble.

Speaking of which, there is no need to worry about whether there are any clear signals. Immunity is like a security team living in your body. In the past, the team was loose and loose, and it would take a long time for a petty thief to sneak in. Now that the training is in place, the reaction is fast, and small problems will be suppressed as soon as they arise. You may not notice anything abnormal and it will be over. As long as we ordinary people maintain a regular schedule, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise for a long time, we will not be brought down by minor ailments at every turn, and can quickly recover from minor illnesses, which is the best proof that our immunity is online.
