Every human starts their day with a healthy breakfast. But what happens when you skip breakfast, or have your breakfast in the morning? Find out as this article explains why not eating properly can lead to an unhealthy diet and some of the consequences of this.
Why do we get sick?
In school children are taught the human body is a machine that needs to be fixed and monitored. But actually, it is not a machine. It’s full of microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and so on that have evolved in order to keep us healthy. These organisms cause most common illnesses like colds, flu and sore throats.
The immune response
The immune response is a part of the body’s natural defence mechanism designed to fight off foreign invaders. The immune system is made up of white blood cells (also known as ‘white blood cells’). These white blood cells are divided into two types: T helper cells and cytotoxic T-cells. These two types of white blood cells play a crucial role in differentiating between friends and foes. If these white blood cells determine that an invader is harmful, they will send signals to other white blood cells via cytokines.
Skin and Mucous Membranes
Skin and mucous membrane are two parts of our body which play a key role in our immunity. When we get an injury to the skin, the inflammation stimulates our bodies to produce antibodies and white blood cells. These are called phagocytes. They attack pathogens and remove dead or dying tissue or bacteria. Phagocytes also provide insight into the immune system. They literally tell a story of your body’s abilities to fight off infection and disease. Lymphatic System. Our immune system works on the premise that all of us are connected.
Inflammatory Response
This response is expressed by multiple organ systems and usually occurs only if the host can avoid death. The body’s adaptation to the disease or injury is known as an inflammatory response and is made up of two elements: a local inflammatory response ( ENDOTOXIN) and a host response. ENDOTOXIN is the local inflammatory response that occurs at the affected site of infection, trauma or other noxious stimulus.
ENDOTOXIN is a group of chemicals that the body produces when it senses foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses or other harmful organisms. ENDOTOXIN consists of a large number of toxic proteins, enzymes, and other molecules which can cause tissue damage, osteoclast production and cell death. Scientists have discovered that the immune system uses ENDOTOXIN as a signal to mobilize cells of the inflammatory response.
Macrophages and NK Cells
Macrophages function as scavengers in the body. They search for and destroy foreign bodies like viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells when they are detected. But like any other cell, macrophages have a lifespan. After living while, they become less effective at their job and start to malfunction. This is when NK Cells step in to take over. NK cells are a type of white blood cell in the immune system. They are designed to try to kill cancer cells and other foreign invaders.
White blood cell
White blood cells are the soldiers in your body’s army. They battle infections, cancer, and other threats to your immune system. Your white blood cells work well in a healthy person, but they don’t always detect certain kinds of illnesses. This is called immunity deficiency. Your doctor may have to check your white blood cell count when you have a different kind of infection, such as monon ucleosis (mono).
Your doctor may have to check your white blood cell count when you have a different kind of infection, such as monon ucleosis (mono).How do you feel? Most of the time, your white blood cell count will decrease slightly after you receive a course of antibiotics, but it will usually return to normal within two weeks. You may feel a little tired after you get a shot of antibiotics, but it should quickly go away.
