  1. WHY IS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IMPORTANT FOR OUR HEALTH?

  2. If we talk about the superhero of the human body, it is nothing but the immune system. We are saying this based on the findings of leading immunologists such as Dr. Kanury Rao because it is the shield that protects us from foreign substances that can cause infections and diseases. By having a strong immunity, you can keep your body safe from pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. But it is important for several other reasons. To find out more, keep on reading this post.

  3. How does our immune system work? • The major job of our immune system is to identify the harmful substances that enter the body from outside. In addition to this, it fights pathogens such as parasites, viruses, bacteria, etc., and removes them. You will be surprised to know that a solid immune system fights changing cells that can cause life-threatening diseases such as cancer.

  4. What are the different types of immune systems? • Innate: This immunity type has been available in our body since our birth. For instance, our skin can block foreign substances and germs by guarding it. This is specifically important to prevent any danger or damage. • Adaptive: You develop adaptive immunity with time when you come in contact with various substances. In many cases, you also build adaptive immunity through vaccines. • Passive: This immunity is for a shorter duration only because your body borrows it. For instance, small babies get passive immunity from their mothers’ milk.

  5. To sum it up! • Furthermore, mental stress, rest and sleep deficiency, and chronic illnesses can affect your immune system and its responses — Kanury Rao. Thus, you must avoid smoking and alcohol, wash your hands before and after eating, opt for a balanced diet, stay active, and maintain the right weight to boost your immune system. Lastly, get in touch with your immunologist for further information and medical assistance.
