The immune system plays an important role: It protects your body
from harmful substances, germs and cell changes that could make you
sick! It is made up of various organs, cells and proteins. Without a
healthy immune system people would not live very long. The immune system
protects us from parasites, viruses, infections and bacteria. Contrary
to reports by Dr. Fauci you CAN in fact boost your body's immune system.
Your Immune System - Saving Lives
The
immune system is one of the body's most complex networks. The immune
system can detect and fight off different pathogens. Excellacor fights
virus activity because it is a proteolytic enzyme, that means a protein
eating enzyme. Viruses are proteins. Within your immune systems, there
are sensors that signal your body to fight the virus or pathogen.
White Blood Cells
The
strongest part of your immune system is the white blood cell. Without a
doubt the most powerful weapons in your immune system is the white
blood cells. Stored in tissue and bone marrow. these are the protectors.
Gut bacteria shown to boost immune system
Healthy bacteria commonly found in your gut is also used to stimulate the development of T‑cells, which are responsible for distinguishing your body's cells and tissue from potentially harmful things in your body.
While frequent hand washing and social distancing are crucial in preventing the spread of illnesses, being mindful of the food and beverages you consume can also help support your immune system and keep you well. Taking steps to ensure your digestive system is functioning properly is an essential part of maintaining your overall health.When food is broken down during digestion, your gut works to absorb nutrients that are used to support a variety of bodily functions including eliminate waste. Healthy bacteria found in your gut is also used to stimulate the development of T‑cells, which are responsible for distinguishing your body’s cells and tissue from potentially harmful things in your body. When there is an imbalance in your gut, such as an overgrowth of “bad” bacteria, it can confuse your immune system causing it to start attacking your own cells. If your immune system is busy reacting to healthy cells, not only is it easier for you to get sick, it’s also harder for your body to recover.
This is why maintaining the balance and health of your digestive system is important to protect your immune system. Gastroenterologist, Vishal Desai, MD
