The immune system is our body's defense against pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi that can cause illness. To bolster our immunity means to strengthen and reinforce our immune system to improve its ability to fight off infection and disease. This can be done through certain lifestyle measures and interventions.
There are two main aspects of the immune system that work together:
Bolstering innate immunity involves optimizing factors that support its functioning. Getting adequate sleep, managing stress, eating a balanced diet, and regular exercise help innate immune cells like neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer cells work effectively.
Bolstering adaptive immunity involves exposures over time to pathogens in a controlled way through vaccination so adaptive immune cells like T cells and B cells can mount quicker, stronger responses when the same pathogen is encountered again. Vaccines safely expose our adaptive immune system to disease-causing microbes to prime our body's defenses.
Additional ways to reinforce both innate and adaptive immunity include:
