The immune system normally deals with bacteria all around without a problem, however, occasionally some germs or viruses manage to get past the immune system - so you catch a cold, flu, or get food poisoning. A cold or flu is a visible sign that your immune system failed to stop the germ. If your immune system was not working, you would never recover from a cold – or anything else.

To understand the immune system's power, just see what happens to an animal once it dies: When it dies, its immune system (and everything else) shuts down and within hours the body is invaded by all sorts of bacteria, microbes, and parasites. Very few of these would be able to cause damage whilst the immune system is working properly.

So ensuring that your immune system is in optimum condition is a key element in ‘healthy longevity’ - particularly as we face so many more threats nowadays.
