Bolstered immunity refers to an enhanced immune system that is better equipped to fight off infections and diseases. This occurs when the immune system is strengthened through natural exposure or medical treatment.
Some key ways to bolster immunity naturally include:
- Eating a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, which provide vitamins and minerals that support immune function. Citrus fruits and red bell peppers are especially high in immune-boosting vitamin C.
- Getting enough sleep, as lack of sleep can negatively impact the immune system. Most adults need 7-9 hours per night.
- Regular exercise, as moderate activity like walking or jogging stimulates the circulatory system and increases white blood cell production.
- Reducing stress through yoga, meditation, or other stress management techniques, as chronic stress weakens immunity.
- Staying hydrated and avoiding excessive alcohol, which can impair immune cells.
There are also medical approaches to bolstering immunity for those with compromised immune systems:
- Vaccinations introduce weakened germs to stimulate antibody production and longer-lasting immune memory. Annual flu shots are especially important for vulnerable groups like the elderly.
- Immunoglobulin therapy involves infusions of antibodies to temporarily boost immunity when needed. This helps those with genetic immunodeficiencies.
- Medications that modulate the immune system, like immunosuppressants, can treat overactive immunity in autoimmune disorders.
