How Active/strong Is Your Immune System? by Ziga127: 4:11pm On Jun 21, 2019
DANGER OF LOW IMMUNITY AND SOLUTION

Did you ever notice how some people catch everything and others are never sick and always full of energy? Different people have different immune systems. Our immune system is how we fight off infections, germs and cancer. Sometimes the immune system does not work properly, as with immunodeficiency disorders. These people are extremely susceptible to infection and cancer.
The immune system is highly complex and important to our well-being. A strong and balanced immune system is required for health maintenance. Using natural agents, it is possible to help restore an immune system imbalance or weakness.
The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections, as well as from the growth of tumor cells. Many of these cell types have specialized functions. The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill virus-infected cells. These cells often depend on the T-helper subset for activation signals in the form of secretions formally known as cytokines, lymphokines, or more specifically interleukins. A shift in cytokine balance can result in many serious disorders.

Signs that your immune system is weak
Fatigue

If you constantly feel exhausted, and you get tired easily, it could be a sign that your immune function isn’t too great. Of course, fatigue can have a lot of causes so see your doctor if the tiredness persists.

Frequent Infections
If you often pick up respiratory or urinary infections, it means that your immune system is overwhelmed and can’t fight invading viruses and bacteria like it should.

You always catch a cold or have a sore throat
If you pick up every bug going, your immune system might not be working well. See your doctor to discuss possible reasons why you might be more prone to illness, and if there’s anything underlying going on.

Allergies
Some people are allergic to dust and pollen, but they respond more than most and become quite ill. This is a sign of an overwhelmed immune system which needs a little help.
Injuries that are slow to heal

Our skin is the first line of defense against invading viruses and bacteria. If the immune system is low, the skin can become infected, invaded by bacteria, and you will notice that wounds will be slow to heal.

Weight Loss or Weight Gain If the immune system is impaired; the body will not be able to protect itself, so it musters all its available energy to fight infection, which can result in weight loss. The immune system also works in the digestive system to prevent the growth of bacteria and parasites. If the immune system is weak, parasites and bacteria can flourish and reduce the amount of nutrients absorbed from food. This can also lead to weight loss. Weight gain is also associated with low immunity. If fat cells are stored rather than broken down for energy, the liver has to work overtime to help break fats down, rather than being able to fulfill its primary role of getting rid of toxins from the system.

Digestive problems if you suffer from digestive problems like diarrhea, stomach infections and nausea, it’s a sign that your immune system might be weakened. Bacteria and cells live in your gut that are an important part of your immune system, so if all is not well; it’s likely that your immunity is not that great either.

Anemia If the immune system is compromised; sometimes it can mistake healthy red blood cells for invaders. The immune system attacks and destroys the red blood cells, which can lead to anemia.

Hair loss
If the immune system is in overdrive, it can attack other cells in the body. If the immune system attacks the hair follicles, it can cause hair loss. A severe form of this is alopecia, which can cause loss of eyelashes and eyebrows too.

Joint pain
When the immune system is impaired, it can start to attack healthy tissue and cause damage to it, so if you are regularly suffering from joint pain, your immune system might be a little off kilter.

Mouth ulcers
Mouth ulcers often appear when we are run down or stressed, or in other words, when the immune system is compromised.

Cancer
Cancer cells can sometimes hide from the immune system so they can’t be identified, so they are quite clever. The cancer cells can prevent the immune system from responding effectively. A healthy immune system can generally identify invading cells and can destroy them. A weak immune system is more easily defeated by stronger, more organized cancer cells.
