Suggest Remedy For Low Immunity Level In The Body
Question: how the low immunity effects our body
Brief Answer:
Low immunity causes increased chance of infections in our body
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Immunity is the inherent ability within us to fight various types of disease and illness.
2. Just like soldiers go to fight a war, similarly out bodies produce white blood cells and antibodies to protect us when an infection by bacteria, virus or any organism enters our body.
3. These white blood cells are the main components of the immune system and are ready to fight and kill offending infection causing organisms.
4. When there is low immunity, these white blood cells and antibodies become less effective in fighting against disease causing agents.
5. Therefore in any human with low immunity, there will be increased chance of getting an infection.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
