Immunity is the most important aspect required for healthy living. There are two types of immunity, natural immunity and acquired immunity. The white blood cells present in our blood act as disease fighters and provide natural immunity to our body. Acquired immunity is induced in an individual by injecting vaccines or by taking immune stimulants. Some people take immune stimulant substances as they have weak immunity. Vaccines are specific immune stimulants that provide immunity against specific antigens whereas there are other immune stimulant substances that provide general body immunity. Vaccines are injected to boost up immunity against certain specific antigens and many vaccines are at the time of birth and in childhood to prevent children from some diseases. General immune stimulants activate the white blood cells to enhance the body immunity and provide protection against several disease causing agents. Natural immune stimulants secreted in human body such as cytokines that enhances the immune system naturally. Some food substances and plants also help to increase the body immunity. People who eat a balanced diet have high immunity due to the natural vitamins and minerals present in vegetables and fruits. Strong immune system is necessary for fighting against the various germs and diseases. Some have high immunity and some may have low immunity.
