Immune Function -- Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer Glossary of Terms
Current Location: Mesothelioma & Asbestos Cancer Glossary of Terms -> I -> Immune FunctionImmune function is an important process within the body. This is the term that used to describe the production of cells in the body that are responsible for fighting off infections and diseases. There are many different organs and tissues involved in effective immune function, including the bone marrow, the thymus gland, the tonsils, the lymph nodes, the spleen, and others. Because immune function produces cells to fight infection and disease, those with low immune function will find themselves more susceptible to diseases and infections.
Those who have decreased immune function may find that they tend to get colds more easily and often than others with high immune function. In those with low immunity, infections can often become serious (depending on the illness). There are a number of treatments available for the treatment of low immune function, such as vaccines and antibiotics. However, medical experts also suggest that lifestyle changes might be needed in order to improve immune function or maintain high immune function.
Some of the things that can affect effective immune function include excessive alcohol consumption, intake of sugar and sugary foods, and some dietary fats. There are supplements available that are meant to help boost immune function, but it is also up to each individual to ensure that they adapt their lifestyles and diets to help boost immune function and protect them from a range of infections and illnesses that in some cases could turn serious.
