What is antigen?

An antigen is any substance that the immune system recognizes as foreign — something that doesn’t belong in your body and fights allergies. When your immune system detects an antigen, it responds by trying to fight it off or neutralize it.

Antigen and allergies come together so to expel the disease.

🔄 How Your Body Reacts:

When your body encounters an antigen, your immune system deflect antibodies — special proteins that attach to the antigen to help destroy or remove it. Proteins like nuts and legumes are examples of protein rich foods. Vitamins also help to make your system stronger. Early sunlight can defeat foreign elements which is rich in Vitamin D.

This whole process is what keeps you protected and forms the basis of immunity, whether natural or from a vaccine.
