Start taking care of your health today by getting a health check-up to strengthen your immune system, ready to fight against free radicals caused by viruses…
You can test at home with the same standards as testing at the hospital.
Dr. Thaneesa Phanumatrassamee stated, “The human body has an immune system that takes care of and prevents infections. White blood cells circulating in the bloodstream and various organs help protect the body. However, if the immune system is deficient or weakened, pathogens or foreign substances such as viruses and bacteria can enter the body more easily, increasing the risk of infection. This can lead to short-term illnesses or even chronic diseases in the long term, potentially resulting in death from severe viral infections. Early immune system health checks can help reduce the risk of infections or diseases in the future.”
Strengthen your health defense with a properly strong immune system
The immune system is responsible for protecting the body from infections. If the immune system is deficient or weakened, foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses, and pathogens may enter the body more easily, or the body may not be able to contain these foreign substances in time, increasing the risk of severe infections that lead to illness. Conversely, a strong immune system can help reduce the severity of illnesses or lower the risk of other health problems.
There are several ways to maintain a strong immune system, such as:
- Eating a balanced diet with all 5 food groups
- Getting enough sleep and rest
- Exercising regularly
- Maintaining hygiene by washing hands with soap every time after using the restroom
These methods are basic self-care. However, if you want to use additional support to boost your immunity and reduce the severity of illness, especially for those who travel frequently, get sick easily, cannot consistently take care of themselves, have irregular sleep schedules, or want to enhance strength, freshness, and vitality, you can do the following:
Change lifestyle behaviors according to medical advice
When you visit a doctor, they will recommend proper nutrition, suitable exercise methods, and personalized vitamin supplements to help you adjust your eating and lifestyle habits correctly. Strengthen your health defense by taking vitamins to boost your immune system, stimulate the production of antioxidants, repair damaged cells, and protect the body from various pollutants. Phyathai 1 Hospital also offers vitamin delivery services to your home.
Building body immunity by testing antioxidant levels
Antioxidant testing is an Anti-Oxidant Check Up 8 Lipid and water-soluble vitamins (HPLC), including Vitamin A (Retinol), Vitamin E (gamma-Tocopherol), Vitamin E (alpha-Tocopherol), Lutein+Zeaxanthin, beta-Cryptoxanthin, Lycopene, alpha-Carotene, beta-Carotene, Coenzyme Q10, and Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid). This test helps determine the amount of antioxidants in the body, ready to boost and stimulate the body to fight bacteria, viruses, and pathogens. It is combined with a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test to detect abnormalities in blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and blood concentration, which may indicate immune-related conditions. This helps in deciding the appropriate vitamins or nutrients to stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the body.
How the immune system works
The immune system consists of chemicals in the body and white blood cells that reside in the bloodstream and tissues to monitor infections. When pathogens enter the body, white blood cells respond by producing antibodies to fight the pathogens. These antibodies remain in the body to guard against future infections, preventing recurrence of the same illness. They also signal other immune cells to eliminate the pathogens from the body. However, some pathogens may not be completely eradicated, but the immune system continues to prevent them from harming the body later. If the immune system malfunctions or is weak, the body becomes more susceptible to inflammation and infections.
