Immunity is the body's defence system, a natural barrier that protects us against viruses and bacteria, and consequently against falling ill. It depends on how often we fall ill, how severe the course of the disease is, and how quickly we recover. Immunity develops from birth and its strength is influenced by many factors. Immunodeficiencies can be permanent or transient.

Lower immunity can have many causes, including:

• Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc.
• Infectious diseases, such as immunodeficiency caused by HIV.
• Health problems directly related to disorders of the immune system.

Your lifestyle, daily habits, body weight (obesity lowers immunity and makes you more susceptible to diseases than people with normal BMI) or exposure to chronic, long-term stress are also important.

Most of these factors can be successfully eliminated or controlled by the right treatment (e.g. diabetes or HIV.

During the SARS-COV-2 virus pandemic, it is especially important to maintain immunity and overall health. Why? Because infection prevention guidelines and procedures are different for individuals with increased susceptibility to complications than those with normal levels of immunity.
