6 Signs You Have a Weakened Immune System
- You Always Have a Cold- if you’re constantly catching colds – or have a cold that’s won’t run its course – that’s a clear sign your immune system is struggling to keep up.
- You Have Lots of Tummy Troubles- If you have frequent diarrhea, gas or constipation, it could be a sign that your immune system is compromised.
- Your Stress Level is Sky-High- stress decreases the body’s lymphocytes, the white blood cells that help fight off infection. The lower your lymphocyte levels, the more you’re at risk for viruses like the common cold
- Your Wounds Are Slow to Heal- if your immune system is sluggish, your skin can’t regenerate. Instead, your wounds linger and have a hard time healing.
- You Feel Tired All the Time- if you’re getting enough sleep and still suffering from exhaustion, it’s worth considering if your immune system is trying to tell you something.
- You Have Frequent Infections- if you seem to battle frequent infections, your immune system might be sending you red flags.
