Vitamins and Immunity: How to Boost Your Immune System
Many body functions, including immunity, suffer when vitamins are deficient. Adjusting your diet or taking supplements supplies your body with the nutrients it needs to keep your immune system strong. In this article, we'll explore key vitamins and micronutrients that support immunity.
Why Immunity Matters
Immunity isn't just about fighting infections—it also destroys cancer cells and prevents autoimmune reactions. Adequate vitamin D, for example, lowers the risk of autoimmune issues.
Strong immunity means:
- Fewer and milder illnesses
- Faster recovery
- Subclinical infections you barely notice
- No flare‑ups of chronic infections
Symptoms like severe flu, frequent colds, recurrent herpes, or thrush often signal weakened immunity—especially after winter vitamin depletion.
While healthy habits (exercise, balanced diet, weight management, avoiding harmful substances) are vital, ensuring you get essential vitamins is equally important.
