As we age, our immune system's capability diminishes, leading to a reduced response to infections. While the exact mechanisms remain unclear, it's evident that the bone marrow's efficiency in producing stem cells declines.

Stress and immune function
Despite these inevitable difficulties in measuring the relationship of stress to immunity, scientists are making progress.
In an experiment, scientist can change one factor such as the amount of a particular chemical, and measure the effect of it, such as the amount of antibodies produced by a particular type of immune system cell.
Improve immunity with herbs and supplements?
There is no evidence that they actually bolster immunity to the point where you are better protected against infection and disease.
Age
A reduction in immune response to infections
The bone marrow becomes less efficient at producing the stem cells.
Drop in T cells or whether other changes play a role is not fully understood.
As we age, our immune response capability becomes reduced.
Increase immunity
No one knows how many cells immune system needs to function at its optimum level.
The body is continually generating immune cells, more lymphocytes than it can possibly use.
Boosting the cells of your immune system is complicated, there are so many different kinds of cells in the immune system that respond to so many different microbes.
Healthy lifestyle.
Keep current with all recommended vaccines.
