Environmental pollutants (natural and man made), a poor diet, insufficient rest and smoking can all reduce the body's immune capabilities.
Our immune system works in partnership with other protective body systems. For instance, the skin forms a physical barrier against foreign materials. The respiratory system utilises cilia, mucus and coughing to rid the body of inhaled microbes and pollutants. Also acid in the stomach and enzymes in the pancreas and intestines destroy many harmful micro-organisms.
If foreign materials enter despite these protective mechanisms, then the immune and defence system begins operating.
All are designed to react rapidly against foreign organisms and their substances.
There are many nutrients that affect the immune system. Therefore, a balanced diet is probably the most important consideration in maintaining a healthy immune system. Many vitamins and herbs can help the immune system function more effectively.
