The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other
invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system
attacks organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease. The
immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together
to protect the body. One of the important cells involved are white blood cells, also called
leukocytes, which come in two basic types that combine to seek out and destroy
disease-causing organisms or substances.

People often compare their weight and shape with those around them, concerned about their weight
being too high or too low, but a healthy weight is not the same for each individual. It
depends on a
range of factors, including age, sex, body type, bone density, muscle-fat-ratio,
overall general health, and height.
The idea of a healthy weight may also differ between countries or cultures. In
the United Kingdom and the United States, a healthy BMI is slightly higher
than, for example, in The Netherlands. If a person in the Netherlands were
aiming to reach a "healthy weight," that weight would lower target weight than
for a person in the U.S.
