PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A Normal Immune Response When a person is infected with the flu virus their immune system swings into action, using a host of different cells to attack the invader. A type of white blood cell called a macrophage recognizes foreign material like viruses and attempts to swallow them up.

Detailed explanation-2: -The immune system is your body’s defence against infections. When it is weakened, it is harder to fight the flu, which also tends to last longer in people with weakened immune systems. People with weakened immune systems aren’t the only ones who are at high risk for flu complications and severe infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Drinking a lot of alcohol is known to suppress our immune system. It weakens our bodies and makes it harder to combat stress, viruses, and diseases. Dietitians recommend sticking to one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bad diet rich in saturated fats, sugar, and salt, smoking and drinking alcohol, too much or not enough physical exercise, bad hygiene (especially not washing your hands well), stress and lack of having fun and relaxation have a negative impact on our immune system.
