Our immune system is our body's natural defense against sickness and disease- it is like security forces of a country, The immune system continually monitors the body for any foreign invaders that are harmful and deploys appropriate defense mechanisms when needed.
We make daily choices that affect our immune system and health. Let us take for example the food we eat, the exercise we get or don't get :-), the nutritional supplements we take, our mental attitude and our lifestyle choices. These all play a critical role in determining how effective our immune response capability remains.
