And then there\u2019s that other friend\u2014you know, the one with the golden immune system who makes it \u2018til spring without so much as a sore throat. What gives?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe estimate there\u2019ll be a billion colds every year in the U.S., caused by more than 200 viruses,\u201d says Neil Schachter, M.D., professor of medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center. \u201cWhile our susceptibility to getting sick is partially decided by genetics, other aspects of our lives are important, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We asked the experts to explain what makes the difference between those with Kleenex costs through the roof and those who never miss a day of work. They shared five major factors:<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Nosh<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>A crummy diet that lacks key nutrients might affect how often you fall under the weather. \u201cThe vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables can help support your immune system, which helps your body fend off harmful microorganisms,\u201d says Torey Armul, M.S., R.D., C.S.S.D., spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. On the flipside, nutrient deficiencies can have a negative impact on your immune system, she says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-a\/N-87x\" target=\"_blank\">Vitamin A<\/a>\u2014known as beta-carotene when plant-derived, and also an antioxidant\u2014contributes to mucus barriers in our respiratory system and gut that help protect them from absorbing harmful substances, says the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Maggini20multi202007-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">British Journal of Nutrition<\/a><\/em> paper. Good sources of beta-carotene include sweet potatoes, carrots, and leafy greens, says Armul.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-c\/N-88i?search1=vitamin%20c\" target=\"_blank\">Vitamin C<\/a> gets lots of buzz for its role in immune function\u2014and rightly so. The antioxidant may stimulate leukocyte (a.k.a. white blood cell) function, which plays a crucial role in your immune system\u2019s power to ward off trouble, says a paper published in the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Maggini20multi202007-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">British Journal of Nutrition.<\/a> <\/em>To support your immune system year-round, make sure your diet is chock-full of produce like citrus fruits, strawberries, and bell peppers, says Armul.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-e\/N-88r\" target=\"_blank\">Vitamin E<\/a> (you guessed it, another antioxidant!) also promotes a healthy immune system by supporting the production of another type of white blood cell called <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/003516.htm\" target=\"_blank\">T cells<\/a>, says the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Maggini20multi202007-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">British Journal of Nutrition<\/a><\/em><i>.<\/i> Get your fill of vitamin E by making sure foods like almonds, beans, and lentils are in regular rotation in your diet, says Armul.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=zinc\" target=\"_blank\">zinc<\/a>. This trace element contributes to the creation of new cells in our bodies, including many in our immune systems, says the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Maggini20multi202007-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">British Journal of Nutrition<\/a><\/em>. Zinc can be found in lean proteins like poultry and fish, so while many Americans tend to meet their daily needs, vegans and vegetarians may have a harder time, says Armul. According to the <em><a href=\"http:\/\/ajcn.nutrition.org\/content\/78\/3\/633S.full\" target=\"_blank\">American Journal of Clinical Nutrition<\/a>,<\/em> good plant-based sources of zinc include legumes, nuts, and seeds.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/multivitamins\/N-892\" target=\"_blank\">A multivitamin can get you closer to your daily needs.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Exercise<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Who knew your morning run could actually boost your immune system? A lifestyle that involves moderate, regular exercise can strengthen your defenses against illness in a few ways, like circulating harm-fighting white blood cells and flushing bacteria from your respiratory system, says the <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/ency\/article\/007165.htm\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. National Library of Medicine<\/a>. \u201cTry to hit a base of 30 minutes of exercise, three times a week,\u201d says Schachter.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, exercise promotes a healthy body weight\u2014but more on that later.<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Zzz\u2019s<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to sleep and immune function, it\u2019s all about rhythm\u2014circadian rhythm. \u201cIt\u2019s important to strive for seven hours of quality sleep every night,\u201d says Schachter. \u201cBut you also want to wake up and go to bed at the same times every day to keep your wake-sleep cycle regular.\u201d Ever heard \u2018sleep helps healing\u2019\u2019 During rest, your production of cytokines (proteins used throughout your immune system) kicks up, as do the levels of T cells in your blood, says a review published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3256323\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>European Journal of Physiology<\/em>.<\/a> Skimp on sleep and you screw with your body\u2019s ability to recover and revamp.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related: <\/b><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/goal-sleep-mood\/N-cp98xs\" target=\"_blank\">Visit our Sleep Center for products that support quality shuteye.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Stress<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Constant nail-biting does more than wreck a manicure: Stress may actually depress your immune system, says Schachter. For example, a study published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/interferon.osumc.edu\/KG%20Publications%20(pdf)\/060.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Psychosomatic Medicine<\/a><\/em> found that med students who reported higher levels of stress showed a poorer immune response when given a hepatitis B vaccine during exam time. Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>A review published in <em><a href=\"http:\/\/c34193.sgvps.net\/~mauricez\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Stress20and20immunity-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">TRENDS in Immunology<\/a><\/em> concluded that adrenal hormones (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/science\/epinephrine\" target=\"_blank\">epinephrine<\/a>, a.k.a. adrenaline) our body releases in response to stress can affect the function of immune cells like lymphocytes (white blood cells) over time.<\/p>\n<p>To keep stress at a minimum, Schachter recommends carving out time\u2014even if it\u2019s just a few 15-minute intervals\u2014every day for activities you enjoy. Whether your \u2018thing\u2019 is online shopping or guitar lessons, make it a priority.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Extra Pounds\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>With cold weather making us crave warm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search?search=muscle%2Bmac\" target=\"_blank\">mac and cheese <\/a>every other day, we all seem to pack on a few pounds throughout the winter. But when weight gain reaches the point of obesity, it can negatively impact your immune system, says Schachter. \u201cThe accumulation of fat is associated with higher levels of cortisol and adrenaline\u2014two stress-response hormones\u2014that can depress the immune system long-term,\u201d he explains. Luckily, bringing your weight back down to a healthy range, identified by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/healthyweight\/assessing\/\" target=\"_blank\">CDC<\/a> as a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9, can help promote proper immune function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have that one friend who sniffles their way through the winter (or perhaps it\u2019s you?), popping cough drops for months on end.
