Hello Steemians,

I hope you all are doing great.

It's a high-priority to fit ourselves. There are a lot of problems that are happening just because of lack of awareness and unhealthy lifestyle. And after this pandemic COVID-19, we have noticed that why we should take care of our health and immune system. So In this post, I'm sharing my knowledge about Immunity and How we can maintain our wealth. I would like to thanks Healthy Game Contest organizer: @tatjanastan, @dobartim, and @steemcurator01 for this great opportunity.

So first of all let's understand what is the immune system? And how does it work?

Basically, the immune system is made up of special organs, cells, and, chemicals that fight infection/microbes. The main parts of the immune system are white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, the lymphatic system, the spleen, the thymus, and the bone marrow.

The immune system plays a vital role in our body, It protects from harmful substances, germs, and cell changes that could make us ill. As long as your immune system is running smoothly, we don’t notice that it’s there. But if it stops working properly – because it’s weak or can't fight particularly aggressive germs we get ill. Germs that our body has never encountered before are also likely to make us ill.

3. Antibodies(Two glands located at the back of the nasal passage.)

4. Thymus(Two lobes that join in front of the trachea behind the breastbone.)

5. Complement system(Enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells)
