Everyone knows that immunity is the body's ability to resist foreign invasion when it is harmed by external interference. The harm caused by low immunity is significant, so what are the manifestations of low immunity? It can manifest as easy fatigue, listlessness, and a tendency to catch colds or other diseases. As for the group most harmed by low immunity, it is infants and young children. Many of their body's functions and organs are not yet fully developed, making them the most vulnerable group to bacterial invasion due to low immunity.
The harm of low immunity, what are the manifestations of low immunity:
1. A body with low immunity is prone to infections or cancer; an overactive immune system can also produce harmful results, such as triggering allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases, etc.
2. For various reasons, the immune system cannot function properly to provide protection. In this situation, it is extremely susceptible to infections by bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. Therefore, the most direct manifestation of low immunity is getting sick easily. Frequent illnesses increase the body's consumption, so there are generally symptoms such as a weak constitution, malnutrition, listlessness, fatigue, loss of appetite, and sleep disorders. Getting sick, getting injections, and taking medicine become commonplace. It takes a long time to recover from each illness, and they often recur. Over time, this can lead to poor physical and intellectual development and can also easily trigger major diseases.
3. The deep-seated reason is low or incomplete immunity. When the body's immune function is disordered or the immune system is not sound, the following problems will recur: recurrent colds, recurrent tonsillitis, recurrent asthma, recurrent bronchitis, recurrent pneumonia, recurrent diarrhea... Therefore, it must not be taken lightly.
4. Often feeling tired--you often can't muster the energy for work and feel tired after doing just a little bit. A hospital check-up reveals no organic lesions. After resting for a period, your energy recovers, but it doesn't last for more than a few days before the fatigue returns.
