💪 Your Immune System: Body’s Built-In Bodyguard
It’s not just one thing—your immune system is a smart network of cells, tissues, and organs. It has two parts:
Innate Immunity: Fast responders (skin, mucus, etc.)
Adaptive Immunity: Learns and remembers specific threats (like vaccines or past infections)
When it’s balanced, it protects you from viruses, bacteria, and more.
