EARLY SIGNS THAT YOU HAVE A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM
Our bodies are constantly exposed to a variety of factors that attack us each day. Thankfully our immune system is usually up for the fight against these toxins, viruses, and bacteria that seem to be everywhere we go. Our immune system works around the clock to keep us at optimal health. Even the aging process is closely related to the functioning of the immune system than time itself. However, when our immune system is compromised, for various reasons, it cannot work as it should and can eventually put us at risk of illnesses, debilitating diseases, or even death. The immune system, unlike other bodily systems, it almost functions as a police force that patrols from organ to organ ensure all is in order. You know your immune system is working when you experience symptoms of a disease. Several systems and organs contribute or fall under the “jurisdiction” of the immune system. The Immune System Jurisdiction 1. White blood cells 2. Bone marrow 3. Lymphatic vessels 4. Spleen 5. Your gut 6. Thymus 7. Tonsils 8. Skin 9. Specialized cells from other tissues 10.Specialized cells called the serum factors present in the blood. What happens when our immune system fails? Many factors such as malnutrition, stress, environmental toxins or certain genetic factors can take a toll on our immune system and lead to its impairment and failure to fight external forces. If we have a weak immune system, we can quickly contract many types of diseases. It is possible to have several illnesses after another. Another noteworthy piece of information is that our immune system has another significant function of identifying foreign and native cells. In the event that the immune system can’t perform this function, it will begin to attack any cell, this phenomenon is called autoimmunity. Autoimmunity is a malfunctioning of self-defense mechanisms that can lead to many autoimmune disorders. So, whether the immune system is attacked by invaders or by way of self-destruction, it indicates a weak immune system.
