Wendy Christien - 30 June 2022 - Natural ways to Boost the Immune System.

--:--

The immune system is an interactive network of organs, cells and proteins that protect the body from viruses, bacteria, and other foreign substances
We are continually exposed to organisms that are inhaled, swallowed or that inhabit our skin and mucous membranes.
If our immune systems are strong, our defense mechanisms will be healthier, and we are less likely to be affected by these organisms. But when we have an under- or over-active immune system, we are at a greater risk of developing infections and other health conditions due to lowered immunity.
