Introduction
Immunity refers to the body's ability to resist or fight off infections and diseases. It's a complex system involving various organs, cells, proteins, and tissues working together to defend the body against harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi.
Understanding Low Immunity
Low immunity can stem from a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, environmental factors, and underlying health conditions. Chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, sedentary lifestyle, exposure to environmental toxins, and certain medical treatments can all contribute to weakening the immune system.
Individuals with low immunity may experience frequent infections, slow recovery from illnesses, and heightened susceptibility to various health issues.
Types of Low Immunity
The immune system can be broadly categorised into two main types: innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
- Innate Immunity
This is the body's first line of defence against pathogens and is present from birth. It includes physical barriers like the skin and mucous membranes, as well as cellular components like macrophages, neutrophils, and natural killer cells. Innate immunity provides immediate, non-specific protection against a wide range of pathogens.
- Adaptive Immunity
This type of immunity is more specialised and develops over time as the body encounters specific pathogens. It involves the activation of lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) and the production of antibodies. Adaptive immunity provides long-lasting protection against specific pathogens by creating memory cells that recognize and respond more effectively to those pathogens upon future encounters.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management, can help support a strong immune system. Additionally, vaccinations can provide artificial immunity by stimulating the body's immune response to specific pathogens, helping to prevent certain infectious diseases.
- Childhood immunity
In India at least ⅔ rd of children fall ill , once in 3 months, is your child one of them ? Why is it that your child gets frequent fever, while her/his classmate barely misses school due to an illness? It is the weakened immunity of your child that makes all the difference. Children that have high immunity are less prone to infections, while those with weaker immunity fall sick more often. Immune system is our body’s defence against harmful organisms & substances that cause sickness.
