With increasing environmental pressures and an accelerated lifestyle, maintaining an efficient immune system has become essential for maintaining overall health.
Understanding how this defense system works, and paying attention to early signs that may indicate weakness, is an important step toward promoting health and building a body that is better able to face daily challenges.
Signs that your immune system is weakened and how to deal with them
According to Dr. Gayatri Kapoor, the immune system does not function as a single unit, but consists of two main systems that work together: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system, both of which are responsible for protecting the body from infection and disease.
How does the innate immune system work?
The innate immune system is the body's first line of defense, and relies on several mechanisms to protect the body from microbes:
Skin: It acts as a barrier that prevents the entry of bacteria and viruses, and secretes substances that help limit their growth.
Tag: If bacteria and viruses enter the body through an incision in the skin, certain proteins label viruses and bacteria to identify them as infiltrators.
Phagocytes: They are sweeping cells that search, ingest, and digest tagged germs and viruses.
Natural killer cells: You look in the body for malignant tumors cancer cells for example and destroy them.
