There are more and more products to repel aging sold in the market but the best way to maintain youthful and prolong life is the daily activities in our lives.

Kazushige Iinuma, a Japanese immune expert, indicates that chronic inflammation due to poor immune system is the root cause of most diseases and will accelerate the body's dual aging process.By avoiding chronic inflammation, protecting the immune system can help the body stay healthy and delay the aging process.

Here are 6 specific suggestions given by experts

1. Walk 8000 steps per day

Every day, our body accumulates a lot of toxins and waste.The exercise can improve the blood circulation process can remove waste from the body, helping the immune system to work strongly.

Dr. Kazushige Iinuma recommends walking at least 8,000 steps a day.For example, when going to work, you can take the bus, get off a few stops to walk.Or relaxing exercises, Aerobic can also improve the effectiveness of blood circulation, reducing the burden on the body and internal organs.

2. Brush your teeth before breakfast

Iinuma believes that brushing your teeth right after waking up in the morning is one of the golden principles for a healthy body.If you eat breakfast without brushing your teeth, periodontal bacteria can "drift" with food into the body, increasing toxins and burden on the body, even increasing the risk of diabetes and depression.

3. Avoid eating pesticide residues and chemicals in food

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is the key to stay healthy.However, you should also pay special attention to the pesticide residue inside, and try to minimize the risk of consuming chemicals to avoid harming the body.

Although pesticide residues exceed the permitted standard does not mean that they are toxic, they can still have a negative impact on the body.Therefore, it is necessary to wash vegetables thoroughly and properly with water before eating.

4. Eat enough fiber can be fermented

70% of the body's immune cells are located in the intestinal tract and only a healthy intestinal environment can create a good immune system.Kazushige Iinuma especially emphasizes the importance of short -chain fatty acids - butyric acid and thinks it is an important factor to nourish healthy intestinal tract as well as maintain immune balance.

Fermented fiber is a good source of material to produce butyric acid.Including foods such as cereals, kiwi, oranges, yams, beans, soybeans, seaweed ...

5. Vitamin D

Vitamin D can help produce immune cells and inhibit inflammatory factors.For example, mushrooms are typical foods rich in vitamin D and beta-glucan.In addition, fish like salmon, mackerel and horse mackerel are also rich in vitamin D.

In addition, moderate exposure to the sun can also promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body.In the summer, it can be exposed to the sun for 5-10 minutes, avoiding the harsh sunshine from 10 to 14 hours.In the winter, when the sun is relatively weak, it can be exposed to 30 to 40 minutes.

6. Additional DHA and EPA

DHA and EPA not only contribute to enhancing brain health but also helps the immune system to operate and control inflammatory reactions, like helping to "brake" in time so that the body will not be over -attacked by cells..

DHA and EPA should be consumed from green back fish such as tuna, mackerel and mackerel to help regulate immunity and away from chronic inflammation.
