Immune system

The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection. The immune system keeps a record of every germ (microbe) it has ever defeated so it can recognise and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again. The immune system defends our body against invaders, such as viruses, bacteria.

Symptoms of a weak immune system can include

• autoimmune disorders
• digestive issues, including loss of appetite, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping
• skin infections

Most of the time, the immune system protects the body from infection. However, some people have a weak immune system that may make them prone to frequent infections.

Symptoms of Immune System Problems

• Cold Hands
• Bathroom Problems
• Dry Eyes
• Fatigue
• Mild fever
• Headaches
• Joint ache
• White patches
• Tingling or numbness in your hands and feet

Tips to stay healthy

1. Good hygiene

• before, during, and after preparing meals and snacks
• before eating
• after blowing the nose, sneezing, or coughing
• before and after treating a cut or another open skin wound
• after having contact with someone who is unwell
• after using or helping a child use the bathroom
• after changing a diaper
• after touching an animal or animal food or waste

2. Avoid people who are sick

People with weak immune systems should avoid being too near to anyone who has a cold or another infection. Viruses and other infectious illnesses can spread from person to person through close contact.

3. Manage stress

People with a weak immune system should take steps to manage their stress.

4. Disinfect household objects

Germs that have the potential to cause illnesses can live on some surfaces in the home, such as doorknobs and remote controls. A person can reduce the number of germs that inhabit these areas by disinfecting them regularly.

5. Eat a healthful diet

Eating a healthful, balanced diet can improve a person’s overall well-being. For people with a weak immune system, doctors generally recommend a diet that is rich in vegetables and fruit, which will provide plenty of nutrients.

6. Exercise regularly

Therefore, people with a weak immune system may wish to avoid exercising:

• at too high an intensity
• too frequently
• or extended periods without stopping to rest

A person with a weak immune system can take some steps at home to keep themselves healthy and maximize their immune function.
