What is the Immune system?

-

• One of the ways our body uses its
immune system is as a defense
mechanism to fight disease,
bacteria, viruses and foreign matter
• Our bodies have a vast network of
cells and tissues on the lookout for
‘foreign invaders’
• As soon as these ‘invaders’ are
detected the immune system is
activated
There are 2 types of
Immune Responses:
Adaptive Immunity
Takes more time to develop, but
it is more precise and therefore
effective towards an attacking
pathogen (foreign invaders)
Innate Immunity
This is fast and reacts
quickly to eliminate
bacteria, viruses and any
foreign material.

Nutrition +Healthy Lifestyle=Immune Health
