The gatekeeper of the body
The immune system or defense system that protects your body against foreign invaders is located throughout your body. The intestines, skin, blood, respiratory tract and lymphatic system are closely involved in protecting the body against foreign substances. The immune system is able to specifically recognize an unlimited number of different molecules that enter the body and then proceed to remove invaders or altered own cells. Our intestines in particular fulfill an important task as gatekeepers of our body. Because food is absorbed into the body via the intestinal wall after digestion, a whole line of defense is set up there. After all, that is the place where potentially dangerous substances can enter our body. The defense mechanism in the intestine is a complex system that consists of good intestinal bacteria, an intestinal mucus layer, the intestinal wall (epithelial cells) and an extensive immune system. The immune system is trained from birth to distinguish between what is good and what is not good for the body.
Boost your immune system naturally
Nobody likes being sick and as soon as we don’t feel well, we usually do everything we can to get better as soon as possible. But it’s actually strange that we only think about our resistance when it has decreased. After all, it’s important not to let it get that far! Scientists agree that a healthy lifestyle helps to keep all the different parts of your immune system in good shape. You can strengthen your immune system by eating a healthy and varied diet, getting enough sleep and exercise and by trying to maintain a healthy weight. Also, trim your nails regularly, as long nails can form a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Good general hygiene is important in any case, but quitting smoking, drinking enough and avoiding stress are also important for a healthy immune system. Improving your lifestyle sometimes requires a change in your actions and thoughts, but you will definitely reap the benefits!
