Drug abuse became public health challenge whereby so many people take drugs out of medical orders including non-psychoactive drugs which eventually affect their life hence, the drugs are toxic to the body systems especially when not properly administered. <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pag...

  Immunity is the capacity of multicellular organisms to resist harmful microorganisms. The immune system protects your body from foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins. When your body is able to resist a foreign organism that may cause disease conditions most especially by preventing the development of a pathogenic microorganism, then, it means your body is well immuned There are basically two types of immunity; Active Immunity and Passive Immunity. I will not enter into the detail of these types of immunity. A video will be dedicated to that. HOW CAN YOU STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM? <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5805803503573544" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> If I ask many of you I mean my viewers, how can you boost your immunity?

 An antibody is the protein component of the immune system. It is called immunoglobulin scientifically. It is the protein content of the immune system. It is this particular protein that will finally identify the invaded foreign organism and eventually neutralize it. Invariably, as much as you take a diet rich in protein, you are building your immunity. Let me give you a very simple example. When a dog bites you, a foreign microorganism enters your blood, your body recognizes it as a foreign organism, this is because those molecules on the surface of the antigen are different from the normal body molecules. For this reason, the body soldiers will then attack these foreign particles Click on the link below to watch the full video. .  <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5805803503573544"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
