We often hear phrases like “my immunity is weak, I get sick frequently.” Some people say, “if the immune system is strong, there will be no illness at all.”
So what is the truth?
Immunity is the body’s defense system that protects us from viruses, bacteria, and other harmful factors.
When immunity is strong, the body can fight diseases more easily.
How does immunity protect us?
Our body actually works very intelligently:
It recognizes viruses and bacteria
It creates defense against them
It destroys harmful cells
In some cases, it even keeps a “memory” for future protection
What are the types of immunity?
There are two types of immunity:
✔️ Innate immunity
It is present from birth and is the first line of defense.
✔️ Acquired immunity
It develops throughout life:
After recovering from illness
Through vaccination
The body’s first protective barrier
The first “shield” that protects us is actually very simple:
Skin
Mucous membranes of the nose and mouth
They prevent microbes from entering the body
Inside the body, more complex processes occur:
Special cells (phagocytes) “engulf” and destroy microbes
Proteins and substances fight viruses
For example, a substance called interferon slows down viral replication
Why do we get sick more often in spring?
During winter and spring:
The weather is changeable
People spend more time indoors
Viruses are more active
Therefore, flu and viral infections spread more easily
How can we support immunity?
During this period, it is important to support the immune system. For this purpose, special preparations are sometimes used.
