Fatigue and Immune System
Learn more about the various diseases that can be grouped under the category Fatigue and Immune System
Boosting the Immune System
The immune system serves to protect our bodies against viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. The system in itself is highly complex and science has yet to fully understand it. Unfortunately, the body’s defence does not always work optimally and sometimes pathogens manage to overcome our natural defence, making the body susceptible to infections such as colds and flu and other diseases. In some cases, over-reactions of the immune system can lead to allergies or autoimmune diseases. Nutrition, fresh air and exercise have an important role in strengthening the immune system.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
In chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, the most common symptom is increasing severe exhaustion even during activities which are not very strenuous. The causes of the disease are suspected to be infections, immunity defects and hormonal disorders. Stress from work and private life also plays a role.
