NK Cell Immune System, Protects Against Viruses

Dr. Jira Thawornpradit, Director of RoyalLife Wellness Clinic, said that the immune system is one of the body’s mechanisms that is responsible for taking care of and preventing infections in the human body, whether they are viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens. One of these is the immune system called “NK Cell” or Natural Killer Cell, which is the front line of defense against the invasion of viruses or abnormal cells in the body. 

There are many units of white blood cells, but the part that is the front line of defense against foreign substances entering the body by capturing and destroying them immediately is NK Cell, a white blood cell in the lymphocyte group (Lymphocyte). There are only 5-15 percent of this type of white blood cell. What’s more, it is found that in people who get older, the immune system, including NK Cell, will work less, causing the incidence of patients with infections to increase in the elderly. In addition, there are factors from some daily lives, such as lack of rest, heavy physical use, smoking, or people who are constantly under a lot of stress, resulting in a condition where they are more susceptible to various infections.

6 ways to boost white blood cells and increase immunity

There are 5 main factors to strengthen the body’s immune system, especially white blood cells called NK Cells:

1. Get enough sleep, 7-8 hours per day.
2. Eat a well-balance and varied diet, including certain nutrients that will help increase the efficiency of NK cells, such as rice bran extract, lingzhi mushroom extract, mushroom fiber extract, Cordyceps , flavonoids found in many fruits, vegetables, and grains, and probiotics.
3. Avoid grilled, roasted, and fried foods, especially foods high in sugar, as these can cause high blood sugar levels and reduce the efficiency of white blood cells.
4. Stress: Most people today are under stress. Relaxation exercises such as walking and stretching in the morning, or practicing yoga, tai chi, qigong, etc. can help reduce stress. Cortisol, a hormone, will decrease, and white blood cells will function better.
5. Exercising regularly, whether it’s brisk walking, cycling or aerobics, at least 150 minutes a week or 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, helps white blood cells work better.
6. Avoid crowded areas filled with dust and pollution. 

Immunity is very important, especially when the virus is stronger. Taking care of the body by preventing it is even more necessary. This will help improve the quality of life, keep you away from contagious diseases, and reduce the risk of cancer. Prevention before the disease even occurs is the most important thing.
