Understanding Your Immune System

The immune system is a complex network that protects your body from harmful invaders. Understanding how it works can help you make better choices for your health.

How the Immune System Works

• Innate Immunity: Your first line of defense, providing a general response to invaders.
• Adaptive Immunity: Targets specific threats and `"remembers`" them for future defense.

Factors Affecting Immunity

• Age, nutrition, stress, sleep, and underlying health conditions can all impact immune function.

Learning about your immune system is the first step toward supporting it effectively.
