What is the immune system and how can I strengthen It?

The immune system plays a crucial role: It protects your body from pollutants, germs, and cell changes that could make you sick. It consists of different organs, cells, and proteins.

As long as your immune system is working properly, you won't even know it's there. But if it no longer works properly, because it is weak or cannot fight particularly aggressive germs, it becomes ill. Germs that your body has never encountered before may also make you sick.

Without an immune system, we would have no way to fight the harmful things that enter our body from the outside, or the harmful changes that are occurring in our body.

The main tasks of the body's immune system are :

-to fight pathogens (pathogens) such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi and remove them from the body,

-to recognize and neutralize pollutants in the environment, and

-to combat disease-causing changes in the body like cancer cells

system to work at it's best.The term 'boosting' the immune system is often used when we talk about wanting to get healthier. This isn't really the right term as we don’t want to "boost" or over activate the immune system. This is what happens in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis. What we really want to do is make sure that our immune system is working at it's best and doing the job it was designed to do. That's why I use the term "strengthen"The immune system.
