A Healthy Immune System Discussion


The immune system is a critical body system tasked with defending the body from infection. Many factors contribute to a healthy immune system, such as engaging in healthy levels of activity, eating a diet of nutrient-dense foods, and implementing various effective stress management strategies.

In your initial post:

What are some daily habits that can help support a healthy immune system? What are some ways the cardiovascular system works to support a healthy immune system (hint: think about cells of the immune system and how they might get to the places where they are needed)?

List examples of any preventative health care strategies or interventions that can boost the function of the immune system and explain how they influence the immune system. How important do you think stress management is in maintaining a healthy state, and is there anything you do to mitigate its effects in your own life?
