Obesity and immunity

"Know thy enemy and know, Baizhanbudai" This is a very famous ancient military terms, were not sick, their own defense and the ability to identify very well the immune system is often said.

Immunity is the body's immune system to identify "their" and "non-self" components, and exclusion of the physiological functions of heterogeneous material. Abnormal body can produce its own role in the organization of the injury, which has three main functions, namely: the role of defense, that is, anti-infective immunity, had the role of strong performance for the allergy; machine to maintain a balance in the body, such as the removal of old or damaged cells damage, Over the role of strong performance for autoimmune; immune supervision, that is, the removal often occurs in the body of abnormal cell variants, when the weakened role, such as the elderly prone to cancer. Obese people on the face of it very sturdy, and it is a matter of fact, "there are only empty table." Immune function in obese people do?

You will see in the daily lives of obese people susceptible to cold, but not easy to quickly turn for the better; obese people with asthma after exercise will Shishi; subcutaneous fat people often play "pimple." All of this shows that obese people's defense system problems, low immune function.

Obese people can change the lower immune function, depends entirely on how to lose weight. Resistance is the human immunodeficiency virus, bacteria and toxins into the body of a defense, foreign bodies swallowed by the macrophages, to attack foreign bodies and the formation of antibodies and T cells, B cells shared. Ichiro Kono was obese boys on the team before the weight loss and weight standards of comparison, the phagocytes engulfed foreign body's ability to lower than normal 20%, T cell capacity was 30% lower, but the weight loss, the macrophage is the ability to swallow and standards The same group, T cell function also returned to normal.

Obesity increase the human immunodeficiency help to avoid infection, and enhance physical, the best way to lose weight or cure disease.
