Are germs really the enemy?

The immune system. A fairly hot topic at the moment.

What with the effects of Covid, and things starting to open back up again, germs are sneaking their way back into our systems after 17 months of consistent hand sanitising, mask wearing and general germ preventing practises.

But bacteria, actually helps BOOST our immune system. When we come into contact with bacteria in small doses, and regularly, we are building and boosting our immunity without even realising it.

The immune system and the role of bacteria might seem like an invisible part of our bodies that we have no control over. Afterall, if we are out and someone sneezes into our eyeballs, the chances are we are going to end up catching whatever germs they’ve rudely sent in our direction.

But it IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE to train our immune system and bacteria to work symbiotically. To give ourselves the best chance to fight off infection, or to become less debilitated by it when we inevitably catch something.
