Did you know that
The terms "resistance" and "immune system" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, they both refer to different aspects of your body.
Resistance
Immunity often refers to the body's ability to defend itself. The body defends itself daily against harmful external influences. The term encompasses not only the immune system's response to these attacks, but also other physiological systems that contribute to the body's protection. Think, for example, of the skin barrier, the gastrointestinal tract, and the respiratory system. Do you have a strong immune system? Then your body is better able to prevent or fight disease. A stronger immune system means a more vital body.
Immune system
The immune system is a specific component of your immune system. It's a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together. Together, this network protects the body from infection and disease. Simply put, the immune system finds harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites and fights them to keep you healthy. Your immune system consists of two parts.
Component 1: the innate immune system. A rapid and nonspecific system that responds to pathogens.
Component 2: the adaptive immune system. This component provides specific and long-lasting protection after exposure to a particular pathogen.
