Although babies are born with protection against certain diseases because antibodies from their mothers were passed on to them through the placenta, then after birth, breastfeeding also make babies to get the continued benefits of additional antibodies in breast milk. But in both cases, protection or immunity is temporary. It does not last for a long time. As soon as the baby stop taking breast milk, that protection (immunity) no longer has effect in fighting diseases.
Immunity is the ability of the body to recognise, destroy and eliminate antigenic foreign to its own. Immunity may be acquired naturally or artificially through consumption of quercetin supplement and both forms may be active or passive. Active immunity means that the individual has response to an antigen and produced his own antibodies, lymphocytes are activated and memory cells formed provide long lasting resistance.
In passive immunity, the individual is given antibodies produced by someone else. The antibodies eventually breakdown, so passive immunity is relatively brief.
Good post but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more on this subject? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit further. Bless you!
I haven’t checked in here for some time since I thought it was getting boring, but the last few posts are good quality so I guess I will add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂
