Immune Balance
Did you know a healthy immune system is a balanced immune system?
In the face of unprecedented global health challenges, the significance of maintaining a strong and balanced immune system has never been more paramount. The human immune system is a complex and intricate network of cells and proteins designed to defend the body against attacks by foreign invaders. When balanced, it functions as a skilled, responsive army, neutralizing threats, and restoring peace. However, an imbalance in this system can result in both under and overreaction, leading to a plethora of health complications.
An underactive immune system leaves the door wide open for viruses, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms, increasing the frequency and severity of infections. On the other hand, an overactive immune system can result in 'friendly fire', attacking the body's own cells and potentially leading to autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or a damaging cytokine storm.
