What Are Neutrophils, and Why Are They Important for the Immune System? - #14486
I recently had a blood test, and my doctor mentioned that my neutrophil levels were slightly low, which got me wondering how neutrophils function and why they are crucial for immunity. Some people say that neutrophils are the first line of defense against infections, but I am unsure whether their levels fluctuate naturally or indicate serious health conditions. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that helps fight bacterial and fungal infections by engulfing and destroying pathogens. Low neutrophil counts (neutropenia) can make a person more susceptible to infections, while high neutrophil levels may indicate inflammation or underlying infections. Many doctors recommend a balanced diet, proper hydration, and stress management to maintain healthy neutrophil function. However, I want to know whether specific foods, supplements, or lifestyle changes can naturally improve neutrophil levels. For those who have monitored their neutrophil levels, what worked best for keeping them within the normal range and strengthening immunity? Would love insights into how to maintain optimal neutrophil function and whether medical intervention is needed for imbalances.
