Passive immunity can only help one so much, there's always a need for maturation of the immune system, both humoral immun!. and cellular!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because as we get older our immune systems strengthen!.That is why an adult and a child can catch the same virus but the adult would feel a little crummy while the child will feel a lot worse!.

We also are exposed to viruses a lot as children (especially in school where it seems as if people are sick all the time) so our bodies develop immunity so future colds might not be as bad (granted you take good care of your health)

There are viruses that still cause havoc on our bodies and ruin the day!.


Unfortunately, as we grow older in the later stage in life, our immune systems become more volnurable once again!.The circle of life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you're young, you're exposed to many things in Pre-k or primary school (children in daycare are exposed even earlier!.) You're probably not exposed to as much and have built up a strong immune system!.

All of us are different!. Some get sick easier than others!. If you're eating a healthy diet, are active and get a decent night's sleep it helps with your immunities!. Even stress can lower our immunities!.

It sounds like you're doing something right, keep it up!

immune system is stronger when your older cos u build up immunity!. When it comes to viruses, you can only catch the same virus once, as your body builds up immunity e!.g chicken pox!.
Unfortunately theres about 200 or so different viruses that cause colds and flu's!.!.so probably never be immune to all of them!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your body has developed antibodies to defend against future outbreaks of the same disease!. !.:!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
