Our immune system needs to be nourished well because it is our body's defence mechanism against bacteria and viruses. Those bacteria and viruses can cause us ill. In order to maintain body's natural immunity, we need to have proper food and balance diet. Essential vitamins and minerals are important to fulfill our natural immunity.

The immune system is made up of cells, proteins, tissues and organs which in group to protect us against antigens, germs and micro-organisms that attack our body.

The interesting part about immune system is that it has the "memory capability". There are cells which can recognize specific bacteria or viruses which have entered our body before. Therefore, they are able to neutralize and eliminate those foreign substances immediately.

Healthy immune system is important for those cancer patients or those recovering from surgery. Weak immune system may result in fatigue, repeated infections, lethargy, allergies, slow wound healing, thrush, flu and colds.
