It&#8217;s often hard to determine whether something is happening because of PCOS or a general health issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have PCOS, you might have often wondered why you get sick quickly. This might be due to a low immune system, which PCOS can cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-block-blog-section-heading blog-section-heading large\">How to strengthen your immune system?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try cutting on dairy and gluten.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The gut has difficulty breaking down the proteins in dairy and gluten. Inflammation in your stomach serves as a warning to the immune system that it requires support. This chronic inflammation can result from other immunological problems and severe symptoms like joint pain, swelling\/bloating, and skin problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try eliminating gluten and dairy to see if you feel better and whether it has boosted your immune system and regained your energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increase intake of Omega-3 fatty acids.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega-3 fatty acid-rich foods contain anti-inflammatory qualities that can assist in reducing immune system overreaction. Omega-3 also helps with various other PCOS symptoms by lowering insulin resistance, enhancing lipid profiles (cholesterol), and balancing hormones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase the amount of omega-3 in your diet by including foods like salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds, oysters, and more. After speaking with your doctor, consider taking an omega-3 fish oil supplement for added support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exercise Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercising regularly has multiple benefits for your body, including its ability to strengthen your immune system and reduce inflammation. You can do workouts and yoga asanas that are PCOS-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleep Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be challenging for people with PCOS to sleep well. PCOS sleep issues may be influenced by hormonal abnormalities, insulin resistance, irregular menstrual cycles, anxiety, and depression. You can follow a basic sleeping routine by sleeping and waking up at a specific time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www1.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.betheshyft.com\/healthwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/B-PCOS-and-its-impact-on-Immune-System-1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Self-Care<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stress also contributes to a low-functioning immune system. And how can it be managed? By practising self-care. Everybody has a self-care routine that works for them. You can find yours by trying out different things that comfort you. It can also help you manage your emotional well-being as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-block-blog-section-heading blog-section-heading large\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS might make you feel like you&#8217;re constantly ill. If you haven&#8217;t changed your way of life to control PCOS, your immune system may suffer from the disease&#8217;s harmful impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the recommendations mentioned above and your doctor&#8217;s guidance to get the strength of your immune system back and advance your overall PCOS healing.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"health_condition":[26,112],"wellness_condition":[100],"special_tags":[105],"class_list":["post-11920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","health_condition-pcos","health_condition-understanding-pcos","wellness_condition-wellness","special_tags-featured"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PCOS and Strengthening your immune system - Healthwatch by Shyft<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PCOS can have a significant impact on your immune system.
