We are living in an environment where microorganisms are everywhere around us. However, have you ever wondered why we are still able to lead a normal life even though we are surrounded by pathogens?

In fact, there is a group of immune armies in our body. “What exactly is the “immune army”?” You might ask. Actually, it is better known as the “immune system”.

Under normal circumstances, the “immune army” would be constantly on patrol in our body. Whenever there are microorganisms spotted invading our body, the immune army would start to attack and fight against it.



Where does the immune army come from? Commonly, it can be formed in 4 ways:


  1. Natural Active Immunity: the human body will recover and be immune to the infection after recovery. The best example would be chickenpox.

  2. Artificial Active Immunity: through vaccination, the innate defence mechanism in our body will be triggered to fight against the pathogens.

  3. Natural Passive Immunity: the antibodies pass from mother to fetus through placenta.

  4. Diet Supplement for Healthy Immunity: Consume foods that are rich in immunoglobulins.


If you wish to replenish immunoglobulins, colostrum would be your best choice! Bovine colostrum is the milk secreted by mother cows within the first 72 hours after giving birth. It is also well known as the essence of milk.

Colostrum contains immunoglobulins, which are incredibly nutritious and beneficial to the human body. It recognises the pathogens that enter the human body and integrates with it, so that the pathogenicity can be destroyed. In this way, our immunity will be increased. Immunoglobulins are also known as antibodies by most people.


Besides having the immune army working in our body, our skin is also a great defence line for protecting our health. A clear skin not only makes us feel comfortable, but it can also help us to prevent bacterial infection. Without this layer of protection, we can be easily attacked by pathogens.


The simplest way to avoid the spread of the viruses is to wash our hands. We often overlook the importance of washing hands. However, we could prevent the invasion of bacteria if we wash our hands correctly. With that being said, washing our hands with plain water is not enough, we should lather our hands with soap for 20 seconds to wash our hands properly.


Besides our hands, there is also a part of our body which we often overlook, that is our private part. In fact, some men would feel strange using hygiene wash but the hot weather in Malaysia and attire would often cause heavy perspiration. These will create stuffy and humid conditions in our private parts and eventually, create an ideal condition for the bacteria growth.

Therefore, it is very important to practice good hygiene habits, as well as maintaining our personal health for a healthy lifestyle.

Certainly, maintaining strong immunity and practicing good hygiene habits are equally important even when the pandemic is not taking place. Generally, we are supposed to understand our health condition and increase our awareness towards the importance of immunity.

Practicing good hygiene and healthy eating habits will help to maintain a strong body!
