The bidirectional impact of stress on the autoimmune systemStress is not only an emotional experience, but also a systemic stressor that triggers a series of physiological reactions in the body. Stress has a profound regulatory effect on the immune system through the nervous system and hormone (especially HPA axis) pathways, and is one of the key factors in inducing and exacerbating autoimmune diseases. 1、 Two mechanisms of stress responseNeurological response (sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems):The sympathetic nervous system is activated […]

Food and Autoimmune Diseases: The Core Principle of Replacing Medicine with Food 1、 Food as Information: The Foundation of Nutritional GenomicsFood is not only a source of heat, but also an information carrier that transmits instructions to cells. Nutritional genomics research has shown that molecules in food can directly affect cellular behavior, determining whether to trigger inflammation or enhance immune protection. Due to the unique genes and biochemical constitution of each individual, the effects of the same food or medication […]
Overview of the Immune SystemThe human immune system is like a “cell army”, composed of lymphocytes (mainly T cells and B cells). T cells, especially cytotoxic T cells, can directly attack foreign invaders and engage in a “cell war”; B cells label and eliminate harmful substances by producing antibodies as “bullets”. The health status of the immune system is characterized by three key balances: 1 Balance between cytotoxic T cells and B cells; 2. Balance between helper T cells that […]
The human body is a complex and sophisticated system, composed of multiple organs and systems working together to maintain life activities.The basic structural unit of the human body is the cell. Many cells with similar structures, functions, and origins combine to form tissues. The basic tissues of the human body include epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nerve tissue. Different tissues combine in specific forms to form organs with certain functions (such as liver, kidney, heart, brain, etc.). The […]
1、 The engine of respiration: Understanding the respiratory musclesThe lungs cannot breathe on their own: the lungs themselves are like passive ‘balloons’, unable to expand and contract on their own. The true drivers of respiration are a group of muscles called respiratory muscles, which move the chest to complete inhalation and exhalation in the lungs.The decline of respiratory muscle function is the core issue: as people age, respiratory muscles gradually lose elasticity and become harder, leading to insufficient chest expansion, […]
