How do I strengthen my immune system?!


Question: How do I strengthen my immune system?
I get sick really easily and stay sick for much longer than most people and no medicine seems to help me. I think I have a really weak immune system because I try really hard to keep myself from getting sick. I don't ever touch doorknobs, I wash my hands a lot, I don't touch my face before cleaning my hands, and I have endless bottles of hand sanatizer. I even hold my breath when someone coughs so I don't inhale something. I even avoid going out sometimes because I know I will get sick, even in summer. And of course I'm sick right now..and I have 4 exams this week so I have to go to class =/

Oh and I have anemia so that might be the problem but I take a lot of Iron everyday. Is there something else I can take? I will try anything, I already drink 10+ glasses of water a day and exercise and eat very healthy. The only fast food I eat is Subway haha..thanks in advance ! :)

Stress can impair the immune system. Meditation is a good way to reduce stress and strengthen your immune system. Moderate exercise will provide a temporary boost. You might also want to try some positive affirmations. Thinking about getting sick does not help. Your thoughts influence your immune system.

If I am worried about getting sick my immune system responds like there is a threat coming. When an actual threat is introduced my immune system is tired from attempting to stop an imaginary threat.

There is also the placebo effect. When companies test products they use a control group. For example shampoo to trigger hair growth and regular shampoo. Some of the people in that get the regular shampoo grow more hair. If you think you have something it is also possible to make yourself sick. You can develop the symptoms of something you do not have.

As long as you're eating reasonably well and staying active, the only way to "strengthen" your immune system is with vaccinations. Check out the CDC's website for adult vaccination schedules to determine how to remain up to date.



You're doing everything right. There is no evidence that mega-dosing vitamins is beneficial in any way and it can actually be harmful in some cases.



Extra vitamin C and D often helps to boost your immune system.
