Ongoing stress has a detrimental effect on the immune system and may increase your risk of contracting infections. Acute stressors may temporarily enhance immune functions, chronic stressors likely diminish immune function.
One of the keys to a healthy immune system is eating right. The gut and immune systems are connected. So, it should come as no surprise that eating healthy leads to a healthy microbiome, which leads to a healthy immune system that can help fight off infection faster.
Regular physical activity at a moderate intensity can give your immune system a great boost that helps improve the immune and metabolic systems, increase your body’s production of antibodies causing them to circulate more rapidly.
