How to produce more antibodies after vaccination against COVID-19? -Life Health

Our bodies need a lot of antibodies to protect against Omicron strains. How can this be achieved, especially after vaccination against COVID-19?

After vaccination, some people make more antibodies to the Omicron strain, others less. It depends on age, underlying medical condition and many factors. However, it is possible to activate antibody production after vaccination against COVID-19 through nutrition, good habits, good sleep…

1. Exercise and sleep produce more antibodies to COVID-19 after vaccination

Dr.BS Mikhain Poluectov, sleep expert, Xetrennov University said: “Sleep plays an important role in the formation of antibodies after vaccination”.

This has been confirmed by previous studies linking sleep with flu shots and hepatitis B. In people who slept 7-8 hours a day, antibodies to the flu virus increased 2.5 times compared to those who slept only 4 hours. Sleep is the time when the body really rests.

Adequate sleep helps create antibodies after the COVID-19 vaccine.

The same mechanism was observed with hepatitis B vaccination. In people who slept more than 7 hours a day, the immune system protection was 3 times stronger than in those who slept less than 6 hours.

For vaccination Covid-19 Vaccine, the mechanism of formation of protective immunity in the body is similar. Sleep generally plays an important role in this process.

Among the severe COVID-19 patients who died from the disease, the majority experienced sleep disturbances. Therefore, during the pandemic period in general and during the COVID-19 vaccination period in particular, adequate sleep and a minimum of 7 hours a day is very important.

It is not surprising that people who exercise regularly produce more antibodies than those who are sedentary, so their immune systems are also stronger than others. There are simple exercises that can be done right before vaccination to increase the effectiveness of vaccinations such as shoulder muscle stimulation exercises.

Exercise increases antibodies against COVID-19.

In influenza vaccination studies, the effect of physical exercise was proven. This could be similar to the case of the COVID-19 vaccine, as they all involve activation of the circulatory system and association of immune cells in the blood with the vaccine.

2. During the vaccination period, avoid diet

According to scientists, proper nutrition can be a natural “launching pad” for increasing the effectiveness of vaccinations. To get that, you need to eat enough zinc, selenium, vitamin D, lysine … often found in foodstuffs or supplements. This substance stimulates the immune system response. Zinc is essential for cellular immunity, and selenium is for antibody production.

People with deficiencies of these minerals and vitamins are 10 times more likely to develop severe COVID-19 illness, and more likely to die. Patients with normal levels of minerals and vitamins had milder COVID-19 symptoms. They also vaccinate more effectively and better.

In particular, it is necessary to eat enough protein, because antibodies are proteins. Therefore, a strict diet during vaccination is of no benefit.

Attention should be paid to zinc-rich foods after COVID-19 vaccination.

Psychiatrist, director of the Russian Diabetes Association Mikhail Bogomolov said: “We already know that vitamin D protects children from rickets, adults against osteoarthritis. effects, including fighting viruses for infectious diseases.”

Daily requirement of vitamin D 1500 – 2000 IU to maintain bone health. We need to supplement vitamin D in the allowed dose. Vitamin D is synthesized under the skin under the influence of sunlight.

Alcoholic beverages (wine, beer) adversely affect the immune system. It is best to refuse this drink 3 days before and after vaccination.

Foods rich in zinc: Animal liver, oysters, pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, beef, chickpeas, lamb, pork.

Foods high in selenium: Animal liver, copra, chestnuts, octopus, eggs, corn, rice, beans, peas, oats, peas, peanuts, chestnuts, cabbage, almonds.

Foods high in vitamin D: Liver, all fatty fish, dairy, eggs.

To make more antibodies after vaccination, you should pay attention to adding these foods in your daily diet.
