Your immune system becomes less effective with age — a process called immunosenescence. This increases vulnerability to respiratory infections, which are a leading cause of hospitalization in adults over 65.
T cell function declines, antibody responses weaken, inflammatory regulation deteriorates and vaccine responses diminish. These changes compound the natural decline in respiratory defenses.
Annual flu vaccination (even with reduced efficacy, still protective). Pneumococcal vaccination (ask your physician). COVID-19 boosters per CDC guidance. Regular exercise. Adequate sleep (7 to 8 hours). Stress management.
Lungora’s antioxidant ingredients (Turmeric, CoQ10, ALA) support cellular health relevant to immune function. But vaccination and lifestyle interventions are far more impactful for respiratory infection prevention.
