Bolstered immunity refers to an enhanced immune system that is better prepared to fight off infections and diseases. This can be achieved through several means:
- Vaccinations - Getting recommended vaccinations trains your immune system to recognize and quickly respond to certain pathogens before you ever get sick. This builds immune memory so your body knows how to fight off infections it has never seen before.
- Healthy lifestyle - Getting enough sleep, managing stress, eating nutritious foods, and exercising regularly all support strong immune function. This comprehensive approach keeps your immune system in top working order.
- Supplementation - Certain vitamins, minerals, and herbs have been shown to boost immunity. For example, vitamin C, zinc, and elderberry provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Consider speaking to your doctor about supplementation if you get frequent illnesses.
