Our immune system defends against disease and foreign substances (i.e., germs, bacteria, and viruses). The immune
system is our body's defense against infections and helps keep us healthy. The three primary functions of the immune system include: 1. Fighting disease-causing germs (pathogens) like bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi and removing them from the body. 2. Recognizing and neutralizing harmful substances from the environment. 3. Fight disease-causing changes in the body, such as cancer cells. Our body depends on a combination of many lifestyle factors to fight off infection and disease. These factors include:
• Nutrition • Exercise
• Sleep habits • Stress levels
• Whether you smoke and/or drink alcohol
