Immune boosters. What are they? Why do we need them for the body?

We hear a lot about the immune system. What is the immune system? According to betterhealth.vic.gov.au/, the immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection. The immune system keeps a record of every germ (microbe) it has ever defeated so it can recognize and destroy the microbe quickly if it enters the body again.

Knowing that your immune system keeps a record of every germ that is defeated in your body, it's a good idea to make sure you stay healthy. This way your immune system doesn't have to overtax itself.
