The Midlife Immune Shift You Never Saw Coming

Women in their 40s and 50s often report catching colds more easily or taking longer to recover. This is not simply stress or bad luck. Studies reveal that immune response efficiency declines by 2–3% annually starting in the 40s, and perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations exacerbate inflammation. This subtle immune shift makes infections feel worse, sleep interruptions more pronounced, and chronic inflammation more likely. Yet most women are told it’s “just life” or stress-related. Supportive measures include vitamin D optimization, moderate exercise, balanced sleep, and anti-inflammatory diets. Even routine check-ins with a doctor can identify underlying deficiencies that amplify immune vulnerability. Your susceptibility is real, not imagined. Awareness empowers prevention. #Health#WomensHealth #ImmuneHealth
