How To Tell If Your Immunity Needs A Boost
A lot of us have been more conscious about our immune system since the COVID19 pandemic. We are more cautious about the concept of ‘germs’ and are more aware of when we are feeling sick.
Let’s talk about some tell-tale signs your body might be giving you to let you know your immunity needs a boost.
ALWAYS HAVE A COLD
ALWAYS HAVE A COLD
Most people will catch a cold about 2-3 times a year. These common colds typically run their course quickly and dissipate in about 7- 10 days. But if you are constantly catching colds that stick around for weeks or months, your immune system is struggling to fight off viruses and other bacteria.
STOMACH IS ALWAYS UPSET
STOMACH IS ALWAYS UPSET
Beneficial bacteria and microorganisms that live in our gut contribute up to about 70% of your immune system. This is because the gut microbiota will metabolize foods and manufacture proteins and other molecules used by the immune system. Unbalanced gut bacteria can leave you unprotected from viruses and bacteria and leave you with a frequently upset stomach and diarrhea.
ALWAYS FEEL TIRED
ALWAYS FEEL TIRED
When your immune system is struggling and overworking itself, you are going to feel tired all of the time. Even after a good night’s sleep, you still feel exhausted because your body is pushing all your energy to fight off viruses and bacteria. Also, if the immune system is overwhelmed and cannot help the brain to detoxify at night, then fatigue will happen.
WOUNDS HEAL SLOWLY
WOUNDS HEAL SLOWLY
Your immune system also plays a huge role in wound healing. Healthy immune cells will protect the body from outside invaders and promote the clean up and repair of a wound along with skin regeneration. If your immune cells are overworked from constantly fighting off foreign invaders throughout your entire body, it is going to take longer for your wounds to heal because your entire immune system is running on a “low battery.” People with autoimmune disorders and diabetes understand that a depleted immune system can result in slowly healing wounds.
