Immune Resilience and Its Importance
Immune resilience refers to the ability of the immune system to effectively respond to threats while maintaining a balance that prevents it from attacking the body's own tissues. Recent trends show a dramatic rise in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, suggesting a breakdown in this resilience. Factors contributing to the decline include increased stressors from the environment, poor dietary choices, and the disruption of gut health due to practices such as overusing antibiotics. Understanding and addressing these underlying factors is critical for restoring the immune balance necessary to protect against diseases.
