Symptom 3: Frequent Sickness
Copper’s importance in the immune system is paramount. It helps in the formation of hemoglobin and supports various cellular functions that keep the immune system robust. A deficiency weakens the immune system, leading to frequent infections.
Recurrent infections, prolonged healing time, and susceptibility to common colds and viruses might be indicators of a weakened immune system due to copper deficiency. It’s not about a single episode but a pattern of frequent illness.
Falling sick often is more than an inconvenience. It disrupts daily routines, affects professional commitments, and can lead to a sedentary lifestyle. Over time, it might lead to more significant health concerns.
Managing this symptom requires a comprehensive approach involving dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and medical interventions if necessary. Boosting copper intake through food or supplements under professional guidance can be beneficial. (3)
