RE: Immunity | The Body’s Special Forces of Defense
Very interesting and detailed information! What do you think is the best way to take care of our immune system in order to make sure it is protecting us but at the same time not going overboard and contributing to auto-immune diseases like Hashimotos thyroiditis, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis?
The very best way to take care of immunity is to avoid being exposed to germs. The main function of the immune system is to defend the body against invading microbes or pathogens; therefore continuous exposure to this microbes will definitely trigger a strong immune response and this can cause the cells of the immune system to go violent and thereby attacking body tissues (autoimmune diseases). Most autoimmune diseases are associated with leaky gut, meaning the tight junctions that typically hold the gut lining together have become loose, allowing undigested food particles, microbes, toxins, and more to escape the gut and enter the bloodstream. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following a good-health guidelines is the best step you can take toward naturally keeping your immune system strong, healthy and co-ordinated. Every part of your body, including the immune system, functions better when protected from environmental assaults. I wish to write a post on this (auto-immunity) soon. Thank you
Thank you for the reply. I'll be looking forward to your future posts!
