What is the Immune System?
The immune system is the body’s natural defence mechanism that protects against infections, diseases and harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and toxins. It consists of a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs.
Why is the Immune System Important?
- Fights Infections – Helps destroy harmful bacteria, germs, viruses before they cause illness.
- Heals the Body – Supports recovery from injuries and infections.
- Recognizes and Destroys Abnormal Cells – Helps detect and eliminate cancerous or malfunctioning cells.
- Adapts to Threats – Develops immunity to previously encountered pathogens (e.g., vaccines train the immune system).
- Balances Inflammation – Prevents excessive immune responses that could damage the body (e.g., autoimmune diseases).
Interesting Immune System Statistics
- 70%–80% of immune cells are located in the gut, making gut health crucial for immunity.
- The human body produces 1 billion white blood cells per day to maintain immunity.
- Chronic stress can suppress immunity by up to 40%, making relaxation and sleep essential.
- Regular exercise reduces illness risk by 50%, while too much intense exercise can temporarily weaken immunity.
- A person can produce up to 10 million different antibodies to fight off various infections.
