What is IMMUNITY?

Immunity can be defined as the state of being immune from or insusceptible to a disease or the like. It is the protection against infectious disease conferred by the immune response. It is inclusive of the body’s capacity to distinguish foreign material from self, and to neutralize, eliminate, or metabolize that which is foreign.

When a foreign substance gets inside the body, complex chemical and mechanical activities are set into motion. These processes defend and protect the body’s cells and tissues. The foreign substances are usually a protein and called an antigen. The easiest response to the antigen is the production of antibodies, a protein synthesized by the immune system that can guide us to neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.

Immunity can also be explained as the balanced state of the body wherein the body has received some adequate biological defenses to fight infection, disease, or unwanted biological invasion. It is a state where the body has adequate tolerance and energy to avoid allergy and autoimmune diseases.

What causes a lack of immunity in the body?

Well, as I have observed the major reason for lack of immunity is lack of keeping the focus on your diet and physical strength. The energy or antibodies produced by our body aren’t that strong enough to fight against this dangerous virus. All these years, our main focus has been to make money, now let’s drive your focus to know what causes lack of immunity. Having a bad diet and an unhealthy life approach is a reason for bad health.

Some other causes to lack immunity are:

1. Regular Smoking
2. Regular Alcohol
3. Having adverse and very poor nutrition
4. Medication such as chemotherapy or other cancer treatments
5. Infections such as. the flu, mono, and measles
HIV or AIDS

How to boost your immunity?

Some of the ways to boost your immunity and fight the wave of coronavirus are listed below:

Eat a balanced diet: Incorporating a diet filled with fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich foods, prebiotics (such as garlic, onions, leeks, etc.), and include probiotics ( such as kefir, yogurt, kombucha tea, etc.) into your diet is the step one to boost your immunity

To make sure what all you are having to boost your immunity, some of the fruits and vegetables best for you can be:

Fruits with Vitamin C or Citrus fruits ( such as oranges, grapefruit, and lemons)
Green leafy veggies ( such as spinach, kale, and collards)
Having red bell peppers in diet
Yogurt or Dahi
Ginger

Apart from fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics, to support immune function we also require protein, fiber, omega 3 fats, vitamins D, C, B, A, E, and K, and minerals like iron, calcium, selenium, and zinc

Get an adequate amount of sleep: When you’re asleep, your body unleashes its healing powers — aka protective cytokines. Protective cytokines are proteins that are released during sleep to help your body do two things: Encourage sleep and fight off infection. Sleep deprivation reduces the number of protective cytokines your body produces, making it harder for it to fight off infection.

Stress management: If not managed, stress and anxiety issues can wreak havoc on your health. Stress can affect your body, mood, and behavior.
