What's a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and start editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
How to get better immune system
The immune system is the body's protection against viruses, bacteria and other infectious agents. Check your values of vitamins and minerals to maintain a good immune system with Tigeni .
Tigeni is an offer for you who want to easily gain insight into your own health. You can find out if you have and maintain vital values of vitamins and minerals in your blood to maintain a good immune system.
With Tigeni you get a simple blood test that you carry out yourself at home. Then you do not have to book an appointment with a doctor and spend time traveling to perform such an examination.
The immune system
The immune system's most important task is to fight viruses, bacteria and infections that can potentially be very harmful to the body - if not deadly. This in the form of life-threatening infections, parasites, viruses, other infections and dangerous pathogens.
The immune system needs nourishment
It is not entirely correct to say that one has a "poor immune system", but rather that the immune system is out of balance. Due to critical deficiencies of important vitamins and minerals, or congenital autoimmune disease, the body will either not be able to fight potential disease from an infection, perceive natural particles as dangerous (eg by allergies) or in the worst case attack itself.
Antibodies
The immune system is made up of different cells and proteins that attack dangerous pathogens by tearing them apart, then carrying them out of the body. The body builds up antibodies for the next fight against the same pathogens if one were to be exposed again.
A vaccine does the same by supplying the body with antibodies that it is unable to produce until complicated and dangerous symptoms from infections occur.
If these cells and proteins we have in the body are to be able to perceive dangerous pathogens, and in the right way, it is important to provide the body with good nutrition and ensure that a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
Tigeni - a quick and easy check
Tigeni offers simple home tests so you can perform a blood test yourself. Through a single or several home tests over time, you can keep an eye on some of the most important values in the blood that help maintain a good immune system.
You order the test kit here on the website, you take the sample at home and you get the results digitally.
Combine results with heart rate monitor
Now you can also combine the results of the blood test with health data from a heart rate monitor! With Tigeni The app lets you sync health data from Garmin, Apple, Fitbit, Android, and Google Fit with your blood test results . This will give you a greater insight into the connection between exercise and diet - and show you the results of the measures you implement.
All tests and medical data are secured in accordance with the current rules for privacy in Norway and the EU.
A good diet
It is especially important to get the nutrients the body needs for the cells that attack potentially harmful viruses and bacteria to react - and have the power to do so. The cells that will attack these "invaders" lie latent until it is time to activate.
Fruits and vegetables
A varied diet, consisting of good sources of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients is what makes the immune system able to attack viruses and bacteria that try to penetrate the body's blood, tissues and organs.
Through fruits, vegetables and grains, the nutrients are supplied that to the greatest extent strengthen the immune system and feed the cells with the right provisions.
Dietary supplements to "strengthen the immune system"
Many suppliers of supplements and similar supplements claim that their products provide a good immune system and will increase the body's resistance to diseases and infections.
Through a proper diet, regular exercise and enough sleep, the immune system for most people will be able to defend the body against serious illness when it is exposed to relatively common infectious substances. It should nevertheless be said that if, on the other hand, a reduced value of one or more vitamins and minerals has been demonstrated, such supplements may be necessary.
Displays the test from Tigeni that you are in a risk zone with a severely reduced level of important substances in the blood, one of our doctors will contact you. These doctors do not make a diagnosis, but will show you where to go.
Get enough sleep and get regular exercise
Sleep
When we sleep and the body rests, several important substances are produced in the body that prepare us for the next day. Some of these substances are also important for the immune system to function optimally. For example, interleukins are produced that allow the various parts of the system to communicate with each other.
Stress is therefore a factor that also significantly affects the immune system, as this in turn affects the quality of sleep. It has been proven that those who sleep less than seven hours every night are more exposed and more often experience illness as a result of viruses, bacteria and other infections (Source: NHI ).
Exercise
During exercise, the rate of circulation of blood in the body increases. This allows the blood to carry the important nutrients to the cells that need it faster. At the same time, the cells are faster able to detect and act when we are exposed to dangerous pathogens. Exercise can in itself also reduce stress (Source: Health Norway ).
Consequences of a weakened immune system
Consequences of a weakened immune system that is out of balance vary greatly between people. Some are born with a severely weakened immune system, while others may experience that the immune system weakens as you get older.
On the website of Oslo University Hospital, you can read the following about symptoms of a weakened immune system and immune deficiency diseases:
- Some common symptoms are; unusual infections, poor effect of antibiotics, poor weight in children, severe reactions to live vaccine and autoimmune disease.

Allergy
Allergies are very common and in most cases relatively harmless. Many people can probably recognize themselves in reacting to pollen, fur or various foods. Nevertheless, for some it can lead to life-threatening consequences. Allergies are caused by the immune system perceiving these substances as potentially harmful and overreacting to protect the body. In other words, the immune system gets out of balance.
Tigeni
Do you want to check for yourself if you have good and stable values in the blood of several of the substances required to maintain a good immune system? With Tigeni You can see how you are doing today and over time monitor whether measures such as exercise and diet have a good effect on your blood values.
Security

If an illness is discovered
If the test results confirm suspicion of illness or serious defects, one of our doctors will contact you directly. In such cases, your doctor will give you information on where to go. The samples will only analyze the values proclaimed on the product, and are not intended as a general assessment of disease.
