Why WBCs Matter
White Blood Cells (WBCs) are a vital part of the immune system, helping the body defend itself against infections, viruses, bacteria, and other harmful substances. They act as the body's natural protection system, identifying and eliminating threats before they can cause illness.
A healthy WBC count supports strong immunity and helps the body respond effectively to infections and injuries. When WBC levels are too low, the risk of infections may increase. When levels are too high, it may indicate an infection, inflammation, or another underlying health condition.
Monitoring WBC levels through a Complete Blood Count (CBC) test can provide valuable insights into immune system health and overall well-being. Regular health check-ups, balanced nutrition, exercise, and adequate sleep can help maintain healthy white blood cell function and support long-term health.
