There are two things in life you just can’t hide:
affection and coughing.
"Cough~Cough~Cough~"
As winter approaches,flu season is in full swing.
According to data from the China CDC(Week 52,2024),
the positive detection rate of influenza
increased by 6.2%from the previous week,
reaching 30.2%.

Note:"+"indicates the positive rate for a specific pathogen increased compared to last week."−"indicates the positive rate decreased compared to last week.
The situation is critical!
Flu is miserable for anyone
who’s experienced it:
high fever,muscle aches,
daytime fatigue,sleepless nights,and respiratory symptoms
such as coughing,sore throat,runny nose,and congestion.
While influenza hits every year,
some people seem to dodge it entirely.
The difference comes down to immunity.
At the end of the day,it all comes down to immunity.
01
Key Factors in Boosting Immunity
Think of immunity as the body’s built-in vaccine—
a comprehensive defense system
with multiple layers of protection.
Like a warrior wearing armor,
it fights off viruses and bacteria,
clears infected or abnormal cells,
and helps keep organs functioning properly.
Immunity relies on healthy,active immune cells.
When these cells are nourished and full of energy,
our immune system is strong,
keeping us protected from infections and supporting overall health.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells,
supplying the energy and nutrients that immune cells need to function properly.
They are a key focus of hydrogen-oxygen therapy in boosting immunity.
02
Mechanisms of Hydrogen-Oxygen Medicine in Enhancing Immunity
Studies have shown that
inhaling a hydrogen-oxygen mixture can support mitochondrial function.
Hydrogen helps carry oxygen into cells,
ensuring mitochondria have the oxygen required for aerobic respiration.
In addition,hydrogen selectively neutralizes
harmful free radicals,
which are major disruptors of mitochondrial balance.
By protecting and activating mitochondria,hydrogen-oxygen therapy helps enhance immune cell activity.
Furthermore,
After just two weeks of inhaling a high-concentration hydrogen-oxygen mixture,
studies observed significant increases in immune cell counts in the blood:
Both NK cells(natural killer cells,key players in the body’s innate immune defense)
and T cells(which handle cellular immunity and regulate immune responses)
increased significantly after inhaling a hydrogen-oxygen mixture[1][2].
Hydrogen helps regulate immune cells,balancing the body’s anti-inflammatory response.
In summary:
During peak flu season,
inhaling a hydrogen-oxygen mixture
may help boost immunity—because when it comes to the flu,prevention is key!
