Weak immune system

Weakened immunity: causes, consequences and ways to strengthen it

The immune system is the body’s main defense against viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. When immunity is weakened, pathogenic microorganisms multiply more easily, causing chronic diseases and a general deterioration in health.

How does a weak immune system manifest itself?

  • Frequent colds and viral infections – if you get sick more than 4-6 times a year, it is a sign of reduced body protection.
  • Allergies and autoimmune diseases – the immune system begins to react to harmless substances or attack its own cells.
  • Slow wound healing – tissue regeneration is impaired.
  • Chronic fatigue – the body struggles to sustain normal daily activities.
  • Skin problems – frequent rashes, eczema and fungal infections can indicate a malfunctioning immune system.

What diseases can develop with weakened immunity?

  • Viral and bacterial infections (flu, herpes, pneumonia).
  • Chronic gastrointestinal disorders (gastritis, dysbiosis, irritable bowel syndrome).
  • Fungal infections (candidiasis, skin and nail mycosis).
  • Oncological diseases – the immune system is unable to eliminate mutated cells in a timely manner.
  • Autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis).

How to maintain a strong immune system

Cleanse your gut – 70% of your immune cells are located in your gut, so keeping it healthy and free of toxins is essential.

Get active – exercise helps blood and lymph circulation, helping to eliminate toxins.

Alkalize your body – too much acidic foods (sugar, fast food, meat) promotes the growth of pathogens. Eating vegetables, herbs, and lemon water helps restore balance.

Avoid unhealthy foods – preservatives, trans fats and sugar overload the immune system.

Integrate fruits and antioxidants – vitamin C, zinc, selenium and polyphenols support natural defenses and slow down aging.

Important! Strengthening immunity requires a comprehensive approach. It begins with intestinal cleansing, parasite prevention, a balanced diet and a healthy routine.
