How to strengthen our immune system

What is the immune system? It is a set of cells that, at the level of the body, ensures the fight against common infections (such as colds) as well as long fights (such as cancer). Health and immunity are intimately linked: taking care of one's health on a daily basis improves one's immunity, and vice versa.

Symptoms of immune weakness include persistent fatigue, increased susceptibility to infections (frequent colds, urinary tract infections, herpes outbreaks, etc.), and wounds that take time to heal or heal.
