+Cell Defence in Practice
For organisms to survive and stay healthy, they need robust defences We live in an environment full of ‘non-self’ competitive cells and potentially
damaging molecules House dust contains around 9,000 types of fungi and bacteria Our gut contains trillions of microorganisms We are exposed to toxic and oxidative stress
To meet this challenge, the immune system exists to sense these antigens and pathogens and protect us from damage and disease …
… utilising its complex collection of specialised organs, tissues, cells and signaling molecules On the one hand the immune system is an intelligent system, highly adaptive to the
individual environment and circumstances On the other, it is a powerful instrument that does not always work to our advantage
and may itself be the root cause of ill-health
Ensuring it deploys its potent weapons with balance and specificity is the great challenge to optimising immune health
Introduction
+ Cell Defence – a matter of balance
We are “under attack” continuously We have great a defence system in the form of our immune system and antioxidantsSimple diet and lifestyle changes can help to support our defence systemLook after your immune system and it will look after you
