8:30 am
later this year is spain that across roads close up the 60 minute on dw, the what there's to us that's why we listen to their stories. reporter every weekend on d w. the 9th is filled with danger and that's why we protect ourselves where we can. we install antivirus software on our computers and on systems and homes to prevent break ins. and if there's a fire, we called emergency services and outflow. these also protect themselves from infection. the means system is a complex network of organs,
8:31 am
cells and messenger substances. how it works, coming up on in good shape the, the skin is the immune system, thus line of defense. it protects the body from external passages. it's taken in some places and then all those gone off one sort of how, how much is our dead skin cells that form a physical barrier against invading organisms. so keep that sort of not on the mouth or the eyes that would cloud your vision and stop you being able to taste involve face males making. so what we have there are mucous membranes into their spirit tree and urinary tract also have mucous membranes. the mucous lia helps expel pathogens to slime, hard to i think someone's award. the mucous membranes are composed of cells that
8:32 am
form a physical barrier. and so these are washed with a lot of saliva and other fluids by these have many components. and then that haven't antiviral or anti bacterial effect on tv of odd would onto back to the film the intestine, it's bmw, systems, grand central station, northern how far immune cells are locations in the intestinal world. this is when most defense reactions against pathogens take place. as well as the immune system in the god there is of course the micro biome, all of the microbes that are found there because this is, they are habitat, other bacteria can easily establish themselves. there is their fault office. there is no room for that. i'm from the time slots when the bone marrow is also positive gaming system. it's located inside the boons. this is where
8:33 am
most immune cells are produced. they perform various tasks. the external mach bone marrow basically provides the so precursors the which mature in the fight against invaders and then produce antibody listening ones on, on to crop up here. the time is a small gland under the breastbone, a specialized organ that acts as a kind of school for special white blood cells called t cells. white blood cells travel from the bone marrow to the time us and make sure that. ready contents are for this simulation by yourself. cool is quite yes. correct tool. in 1st grade, the teacher teaches the sales students what they need to respond to what they are they again as of in my enhanced and they have to do it properly. when customers deal, if they don't, they'll be kicked out of the classes. choices must $50000.00 identity,
8:34 am
so school getting kicked out means dying north and then that's it says food amongst t cells. learn to distinguish the bodies own cells from foreign invaders full and to jens officer. they've been trained. somebody used as kill us cells against pathogens to destroy them. the spleen is also a key part of the immune system. it's still of defense self the relief whenever the needed and also felt as the plot going down was $150.00. maybe basically you can think of this plane is a big blood c, as of the blood is filtered through it. and there are also macrophages in the margins, which we call scavenger cells in the i to t t saying they fish out old t cells, old blood cells and pathogens, and then dispose of them done. and so on. the immune system has a huge off and all of health as that destroyed pathogens to keep us healthy, often without us even noticing. but sometimes you most definitely do
8:35 am
notice your body aches school for it depends on your temperature rises, your immune system is working over time. if your body temperature associate degree celsius or higher, you officially have a c that it's on pleasant. no questions. but does it actually so the purpose of fever can really knock you out. it's a sign that the body is defending itself against an invader. it's turned out the temperature and is using it as a weapon. because many viruses impact tyria sensitive to heat. they multiply best temperatures around 37 degrees celsius. if the environment goes house and due to fever, proteins and some pathogen start to d nature and clump. this prevents them from proliferating, and they die off or feverish as the body is doing its job.
8:36 am
sites have an important task and the defense against disease causing my crowds. these defense cells detect and size invaders, such as viruses or bacteria. to do so, they migrate to the site of infection and attacks of pathogens that 3, the can accelerate this process. this is because the body release is heat shield proteins, tab a boosting the lymphocytes, making them more efficient and best able to find viruses. you can't really say that a feedback is always helpful or harmful, whether it's necessary to lower or fever. also depends mainly on the patient. the bus for students can be dangerous for a certain age groups for very young patients. for example, infants under the age of one and also for elderly patients, people over 75. so age is
8:37 am
a factor and the other factor is existing conditions. if someone has a medical condition, then a high temperature has to be taken seriously. told most of the process is in our body what best of the temperature of 37 degrees. if the body is significantly hosta for an extended period of time, it can be dangerous. a fever or 40 degrees on low can lead to serious complications, even in otherwise healthy people. somebody fits enough and often cause severe dehydration and accelerated heart dropping blood pressure. but if this happens, then you definitely need to reduce the fever was. but there's no general rules about when to reduce a fever. what studies do show is that reducing one doesn't to affect the duration of an illness p, right? so let's see here. fever is basically the body sounding and alarm and saying, i have a problem, leave me alone. i have to sorted out and tackle the root of the problem. and the
8:38 am
body requires strength to do that. if you reduce the fever and carry on and exert yourself as usual, you can end up making the illness worse than it needs to be. and i need to find out what is important is to drink plenty of fluids to every degree higher than the normal body. temperature, you should drink an extra liter. so if you have a temperature of $39.00 degrees celsius, you should drink about 5 inches of water per day in total. alternatively, medications can help reduce the temperature for several hours. you can also reduce body temperature with a cough compress, wrapping a cloth soaked in vinegar water around the cops for a few minutes. however, i think the effect will last for a whole day. it has to be repeated a few times. this patient's temperature is back to normal. the west is of
8:39 am
to work at its best. your immune system needs a range of different. my card, new chance is rich and visual and a which is needed for the production of new selves and the mucus membranes. so inches, the intestines and respiratory tract. oh, well uh sweet potatoes contained pro vision in a which the body converts into victim in a, in the intestines. so an alternative for vegetarians selfish have a lot of think essential for the production of various defend itself. studies show that a good supply of st protects children in particular from severe diarrhea like gains such as beans, chick peas and lentils also keep the body well supplied with think it's more easily observed when they're soaked, often mental but some foods can make the immune system over react, and that can be life threatening. it looks so harmless,
8:40 am
but for about one percent of the population coming into even the slightest contact with the fragment of peanut, it can be fatal. as i know it is, i always say that a severe reaction to a pain us is like an accident with a tank. a fighting can with children, the airway start to close out pretty quickly. they get a tightness and a chest that makes it hard to breed. it can happen in a matter of minutes. as luca knows all too well, he and his family had no idea. he had a peanut allergy, but then 3 years ago, his little sister accidentally knocked over a bowl of peanuts on new year's eve. then lucas started helping to pick them up 100 times, barely 3 minutes later he came to me in the kitchen with his lips swimming up like crazy. and i knew something was wrong um, most of the skills love this. it has been a fun evening until that happens,
8:41 am
but then it suddenly got very serious system making on those things. lucas body had reacted to proteins contained in the pain that he was about to go into an electric shock and had to be rushed to the hospital. a severe allergic reaction to peanuts happens when peanut particles enter the body, either because they're eaten inhaled where they even just come into contact with the skin. the fragments are misinterpreted as an enemy by special anti bodies. these then binds to the peanut allergens. as a result, the mass cells activating the granulated releasing huge amounts of the neurotransmitter histamine. the histamine dilates the blood vessels, blood pressure, drops, blood stops flowing at a brisk rate. vital oregon such as the heart loans and brain are no longer supplied with oxygen. there's a risk of cardiovascular failure. since the new year's eve incident, lucca always carries an emergency cat complete with an adrenalin pen. if he
8:42 am
accidentally comes into contact with peanuts, he could save his life. the volume a gentleman dilates the airways, which means that the patient can breathe again and it constricts the dilated blood vessels. this raises blood pressure and boost circulation. lucas peanut allergy was a blow for him and his family, the fear that he would suffer. another severe reaction was ever present. even tiny choices of peanuts composer risk to allergy suffers. but now lucca no longer has to worry. he's one of 30 children who took part in trials of a new oral immune therapeutics, the desensitize, them to feed that allergens. this involved eating a sort of flower containing peanut proteins every day. over a period of 6 months, the dosage was slowly increased from $1.00 to $300.00 milligrams. the equivalent of
8:43 am
a single pane of the screen. i'm sure that you've clearly started quite well. i didn't have too much trouble. it didn't really taste like not enough, but then when it got to about 80 milligrams, it got worse. so i only ask, please mean he comes with central ends in this, in scratch that i had stomach pains and some other problems. i don't understand and i was close to dropping out, but in the end i decided to continue the therapy. so i don't have to worry about peanut trace is all the time i've come. he can now tolerate around $300.00 milligrams of the peanut flower. that's a whole p not to maintain the effect, so he has to regularly consume this dose is. now luca can even enjoy his favorite chocolate biscuits again, without having to worry. he'd avoided them for 3 years because they might contain traces of peanuts, or sometimes the immune system attacks the bodies own healthy tissue. this is
8:44 am
called an auto immune disease, lupus, for example, it can lead to changes in the skin and information in the joints and organs pop stuff, selena gomez has lupus needed a kidney transplant. soon as seo has scars on his face, as a result of the condition tracing, it can be very challenging to tell which he is visiting this clinic in southern germany for a follow up examination. she has to have a complete checkup every 4 months. back in 2016 when she was 16 to tell contract that the severe auto immune disease systemic lupus risk my toes this or s l e, and athletic teenager. at 1st, she mistook the symptoms for sore muscles collects the joint, pain, didn't get any better, it got worse. and then in december, i developed extreme fatigue. i got more and more tired. with lupus,
8:45 am
the immune system begins finding the body's own cells and attacks internal organs. none of the attempts to treat to tell this condition were successful. in early 2021 . all the treatment options had been exhausted when the have at that point i just had to cry. yes. the disease wasn't getting any better. it was getting less. all i could do was lie down at home. i was in pain. i had breathing difficulties, hot palpitations. i wondered if i was going to die because that just wasn't to kill, couldn't have big. the doctors from the human atalla, g and immunology departments at the university hospital long and for already researching a treatment for lupus patients employing t cells from the patient that are genetically engineered in the lab. at that point, the cell therapy had only been used in cancer treatment. it was offered to to tell as a last resort was to get him to and he had to have to admit, quite honestly, i was very worried that it might not work at all because we had no experience and
8:46 am
no one had done it before us. and there was also the risk that it might make things worse. the, those kinds of like took off limits. this is how the therapy works. t cells are isolated from the patient's blood and fitted with what's called a sion merrick adage and receptor or car. it enables these modified t cells to recognize and destroy misdirected cells. in march 2021 to tell became the world's 1st patient treated with s l e car t cells. since then, her condition has improved in domestic during this semester break. i had a vacation job and they told me that that it was actually a man's job. my parents thought that was great because it was the 1st sign for them that i was healthy again, because we always just give them the 5 more patients with life threatening lupus have since been successfully treated with experimental car t cell therapy. the next step is a clinical trial with more subjects. it could mark a milestone and treatment of auto immune diseases. in the
8:47 am
mean system include cells that are highly specialized in fighting off home for organisms. for example, macrophages, which are effectively the bodies garbage connective, they destroy, invite is an infected cell. then there are plasma cells, a group of white blood cells that produce antibodies, which flag pathogens for destruction. the new system also contains organs that fluid costs to keep you healthy. when it comes to the organs as a definite hierarchy, the top dogs, such as the hawk, brain and lungs, are considered vital. while others, these, that job's as soon as they cause problems. these on the dogs include a screen, the appendix, and the tongue. we have 6 of them,
8:48 am
the 2 palatine tonsils on the left and right sides at the back. the truth would clearly visible the lingle tonsils, the hidden behind the town. the ad annoyed, is located behind the nasal cavity, and the tubal tonsils are the opening of the station tube, which connects the entrance to the tonsils, a part of the lim fasick system which extends throughout the entire body. it turns float, fluid as if the tissues fills out harmful substances and pathogens and returns the purified fluid to the bloodstream. when the immune system has to fight bacteria and viruses, the lymph nodes become key battlefields, white blood cells and antibodies can lexia and try to render the pathogens homeless and space causes phillips notes to swell with the palatine tonsils. in particular, this swelling can cause problems such as difficulty swallowing and breathing
8:49 am
chronic inflammation of the tonsils can lead to inflammation in the right to the body. the simple solution is to get rid of them. once that surgically removed the patient's no longer have swallowing and breathing difficulties is kind of surgery is going to being performed in india as early as 3000 years ago. it's downside is that the immune system then has to code without for tonsils. that usually works just fine, but studies show that tonsil removal can lead to know antibody production. that's why i don't, to, is often recommend how shall removal of the tons of this eliminates the obstruction in the upper ad way while allowing the tonsils to continue to do that job. hot time is it well for the immune system? the exercise connecting means system function best, for instance, because it increases the body circulation of limp fluid, housing. it flush out toxins and bacteria. so can sleep,
8:50 am
not getting enough can make you sick. if the body is facing an infection, it needs even more than usual. and this social media trend is also supposed to support the immune system. but it does it really outside temperature just above freezing water temperature, 8 degrees celsius. no matter how truly it is la shawna and her friend could take regular dips, their iron rooms. they never jump in but lower themselves and quickly without hesitating. how does it feel less bracing? oh said good. at very low temperatures like today the to keep their dip short
8:51 am
submerging themselves for about a minute. stan, it's time to get out. you have to do that. if your body starts to tingle, it makes you feel very alive and warming up again, feels really good. then it's important to get dressed again. fast. been something warm leah on the ever goes in once. she 1st began cold water swimming during locked down in the 1st cove it winter and stuck with it. so it's happens me up. so even if i've been sitting in a draft or it's cold and i'm not dressed very warmly, i don't get a cold right away because somehow it gives me an in the strings. this went in and until she stepped. leah's goal is therefore to help boost her immune system that does cold water really strengthen it. the sports medicine specialist, again stating,
8:52 am
has treated german olympic athletes. he often prescribes cold water therapy for his patients and is convinced it has positive effects. k to often kawloski called influence has the body because it has various physiological effects on the muscles. it causes the vast construction of blood flow to the muscles, changes the speed of neural transmission, changes and pain sensitivity, whether and so cold. water can trigger a range of reactions in the immune system. do you see changes in the messenger substances? inter lloyd can and gamma interferon have been documented. so immune system cells benefit, you know, a positive alls colinson's scientific study shows that regularly applying jets of cold water to the upper body boost the immune system. afterward, study participants have more immune cells in their blood than before. cold showers also appear to have a positive effect on the immune system. as part of
8:53 am
a study by adults researchers involving 3000 subjects, some of the participants took a cold shower for 30 to 90 seconds every day. the comparison group took warm showers the result among cold showers later, a cases of illness were around 30 percent lower. if you want to try out the benefits of cold water for yourself, you can do it in your own bathroom health coach. the mona unconnect shows how filled the bath tub with cold water. so it's about knee deep and then walk up and down on the spot, the diploma does. i can push through it for about 30 seconds to a minute. i mean, depending on how comfortable you on your name is if you tend to feel the cold and the will say is really freezing, then keep it short as is cool. but if you're more used to cold water,
8:54 am
you can keep it going a bit longer. that's where you do it for as long as you feel comfortable fish for shirts for long. let us once you finished, just to wipe the water off the legs so as to make the most of evaporative cooling. you can also try plunging your arms in cold water in the sink or in a basin splashing called with water on the face also has many benefits. cold water does appear to boost the immune system. but so far not many studies have been done to scientifically support the claimed personnel. china, tim has an exercise this week and a boosting gaming system. make sure you do it at the right speed, not to foster. i'm not to say i'm your assistant
8:55 am
benefits and no mostly upon the physical activity. that's why, less than not the exercise we are doing now is called bo peace. it genesis your body, your whole endurance impacts of as many, many muscles at the same time. let me show you how step one place you have faith more than hip. why the part step to do this quote, to place your hands on the phone you for fetes. step 3, walk backwards to extend your hips. keep it straight back. if we can do a step forward to a push up or hold as blank position, step 5, get to lexi of feed, back to what's your hand until you and is what position. and the stand up straight is step 6. and now a bit foster. the
8:56 am
once out that you hold back to straight to cool, most us all activated and your hands on the flow and your fingers a split the okay. do this exercise for minimum 5 racks is a short break after that and repeat this cycle for 3 rounds. give it a go and see you again next week for a new addition of in good shape by it's the

close up. 30 minutes on d w. oh gosh, i can check off, run out for you. okay, mark, okay, sounds good. transport is a great is causes v o 2 emissions in europe. and that requires urgent action. the future is determined. now, europe revealed part 5 of our series 75 minutes on dw, the stopping climate change. that's what they're aiming for,

the skills resembles zones of the earth and will become you literally uninhabited up the today we're talking about a few 1000000 refugees in the future. we're talking about billions especially it's no longer a question of whether we get out of coal, oil and gas, but land on the assume about commitment and the about visions and the people behind the, the way we want to achieve rethinking in society, the burden catastrophe. climate change starts july 13th on dw, the
