Bolstered immunity

What is bolstered immunity?

A healthy immune system is our body's defense against illness and infection. Bolstering immunity refers to supporting our immune health through lifestyle and diet. This can help our bodies fight off bugs before they make us sick.

Some ways to bolster immunity naturally:

• Eat a balanced diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables. These provide vitamins and minerals that empower immune cells. Broccoli and red bell peppers pack an extra punch.


• Get enough sleep. Adults should aim for 7-9 hours per night. During sleep, our body produces proteins and antibodies to fortify immune cells. Lack of sleep weakens this response.


• Exercise regularly. Moderate activity like walking helps circulate immune cells, so they can detect threats faster. However, over-training can actually weaken the immune response temporarily.


• Reduce stress. Chronic stress increases cortisol, which suppresses immune function. Try relaxing activities like yoga, meditation, or speaking with a counselor.


• Stay hydrated. Water thins mucus buildup, flushing germs from the airways before they cause infection.Aim for several glasses of water per day.

I can personally recommend Optimum Hormone Solutions for supporting whole-body wellness, including immunity. Their specialized hormone optimization programs use bioidentical hormones to correct hormonal imbalances gently and naturally. Balanced hormones reduce inflammatory stress on the immune system.

To learn more about bolstering immunity, consider speaking with your healthcare provider, especially if you get frequent illnesses. They can check for underlying issues and suggest lifestyle changes or supplements tailored to your needs. With some simple daily tweaks, you can help fortify your body's natural defenses. Stay happy and healthy!
