Influenza and pneumonia are among the leading causes of hospitalization and death in adults over 65. Prevention is far more effective than treatment at any age.
Annual influenza vaccine, pneumococcal vaccines (PCV15 or PCV20 — ask your physician), and COVID-19 boosters per current CDC guidelines. These are the most impactful interventions for respiratory infection prevention.
Regular exercise (moderate, consistent — not excessive), adequate sleep (7 to 8 hours), stress management, hand hygiene and avoiding crowded indoor spaces during outbreak seasons.
Antioxidant-rich diet, adequate protein and supplementation as needed. Lungora’s antioxidant ingredients support cellular health, but they are not substitutes for vaccination or hygiene practices.
