How to Increase Lymphocytes

Çabuk İndir

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that help your body’s immune system fight off an infection. Lymphocytes are divided into T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer cells. B-cells produce antibodies that attack invading viruses, bacteria, or toxins, while T-cells attack your own cells that have become compromised. Since lymphocytes help attack an infection, they decrease in number if you’ve been ill or have exhausted your system.

Common causes of low lymphocytes include viral infections, poor nutrition, stress, chemotherapy, and the use or corticosteroids. Whatever the cause, you can help your immune system by making changes to your diet and lifestyle to increase lymphocytes.
