Immune Health Neutral Bay, Sydney NSW

Immunodeficiency is the underactivity of the immune system. This leads to an increased risk of infection. Unfortunately, some people are born with immunodeficiencies, whilst others may contract it from a medical treatment (such as chemotherapy) or disease (such as HIV which later develops into AIDS). People with compromised immune systems need to exercise extreme caution since they are at a higher risk of succumbing to an infection.

Healthy living strategies will help to improve not just your immune health, but all other systems in the body. Some of the strategies used to optimise your overall health, wellbeing and immune function include:

• Not smoking.
• Consuming fruits and vegetables.
• Exercising regularly.
• Maintaining a healthy weight.
• Avoiding excessive alcohol consumption.
• Getting adequate sleep.
• Taking appropriate precautions to avoid infection, including washing your hands frequently and cooking meat thoroughly.
• Minimising stress.
• Keeping up to date with all recommended vaccines.

You should always speak to a doctor or nutritionist to improve your diet. If you suspect that your diet is not providing you with enough nutrients, then taking multivitamin supplements may be able to help boost your immune function as well as your overall health. Nutrients play different roles in your overall health, wellbeing, quality of life, recovery, energy levels, etc. So, by ensuring that your diet contains sufficient nutrients, you can increase the chance of improving your immune health.

Any form of excessive stress can have a negative impact on your overall health including your immune function. Therefore, by reducing stress you may be able to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
