IMMUNITY
We are living in a time of unprecedented fears and anxieties due to to a pandemic-COVID 19. Covid-19 is a respiratory disease, originated in Wuhan, China at the end of the year 2019. Within a few months, the disease has spread across the globe. It has taken away the lives of tens of thousands of people. In countries like America, Italy and Spain, it made horrendous fatalities. The world is still reeling under the threat created by it. The most unfortunate thing about this disease is that no effective vaccine has been discovered against it so far. The only thing as a preventive measure is self immunity and social isolation. In a time like this, immunity has a major role to play in one's life. When all medicines fail, immunity becomes a panacea. As we know, prevention is better than cure, immunity has vital importance in prevention. We can be immune in so many ways. The way we live, make us immune or vulnerable. The food we take, the water we use, the cleanness of our body and surroundings, are key factors that determine our immunity. A healthy exercise will also boost are immunity gradually. We have to be vigilant in doing away with what is unnecessary. It's disappointing to see that our society has fallen sick in bracing junk food cutting across age barriers. This junk food culture is detrimental for building up a strong immune system. Equally dangerous is the habit of idleness and reluctance in doing regular exercises. It will lead to obesity that may lessen our immunity and invite diseases. Since immunity is the key factor behind the prevention of all diseases, we should cultivate a better lifestyle to attain immunity.
