An immunocompromised status refers to a weakened immune system, making individuals more prone to infections and slower recovery. This can result from chronic illness, certain medications, aging, or inadequate nutrition. Symptoms include frequent illness, lingering infections, and general fatigue.
A comprehensive approach emphasizes immune-boosting lifestyle habits: nutritious food, quality sleep, regular exercise, hydration, and stress reduction. Supplementation with immune-supportive herbs and nutrients may be helpful. Chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture can also promote general well-being and resilience. Personalized functional medicine strategies aim to identify and address specific weaknesses in immune response.
