Keeping us safe from various infections and sickness, making sure the body’s immune system is protected and optimized are a must. Check out these dietary and lifestyle suggestions that help strengthen your body’s natural defenses against disease-causing elements.

How the Immune System Works

The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that’s dedicated to protecting your body from foreign bodies that could make you ill. Its main tasks include: 

  • Eliminating disease-causing germs such as bacteria and viruses.
  • Neutralizing harmful substances that came from the environment outside the body.

How does the immune system work? Without diving into the more technical details, the immune system can be activated by substances that the body doesn’t recognize as its own. These are antigens. When antigens appear, a specific type of immune cell produces antibodies that help tag these antigens as intruders. Once tagged and targeted, killer T cells are sent to eliminate antigens. 

Especially in seasons when the body is more exposed or vulnerable to infections and diseases, taking care of the immune system and making sure it does its job well is a must.
