One of the keys to combating COVID-19 is understanding how our immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease.
Researchers have been trying to understand Why some people get sick from COVID-19 while others do not.
Your immune system is an intricate, codependent structure of white blood cells, antibodies, complex protein, networks, and organs. Though your immune system is effective against many disease - causing germs and viruses, it requires time to familiarize itself with the enemy.
COVID-19 is a novel pathogen, meaning those who contract it have no existing antibodies to mount a defense. However, developing a strong immune system while you're healthy can sustain your body as it familiarizes itself with the new virus in the event you get sick.
Getting quality sleep, Eating nutritious meals, Exercise, and managing your stress are meaningful ways to elevate your system.
