IMMUNE SYSTEM PROBLEMS

The immune system is one of defence mechanisms yourbody uses to protect it against micro-őrganisms that cause diseases. The key components of the system are theskyn, mucus membranes, saliva, lymph nodes and vessels, spleen, adenoids, tonsils, thymus gland and white blood cells.
These areall designed to either repel or prevent germs entering the body via the skyn, mouth, nose, and other openings and to destroy any invasive viruses, bacteria,, parasites, and fungi that do cross these barriers.



To maintain optimum health, and avoid infections or disease, you need to boost your natural imunity to germs and keep al these specialised defence mechanisms in efficient working order. 
In order to achieve this, your innate immunity and adaptive immuity must work together.

Your innate immune system consist of  the key components (listed above) that you were born with.
It attempts to repel invading disease-causing microbes and to fight any that breach its natural protective barriers. Your adaptive immunity is the one that you acquire from exposure throughhout your life to different germs and disease.

Signs of wether your immune system is functioning efectively include  inflammation and swelling (blood flow to the infected area increases to fight infection) and a rised temperature or lymph nodes.

Eating a healty diet that contains all the essential nutrients, taking regular exercise, getting enough sleep, managing stress,havng good, suportive relationships with your family and friends and avoiding exposure to toxic chemicals (in processed foods, cigarettes, alcohol, reactional drugs and environmental pollutant) can all help you to stay healthy, fight off infections and build a strong immune system.
