Health Benefits of Bone Marrow
3. Immunity
None of us are ever completely safe from microbes around us. They can be anywhere and even the most careful of people can still fall ill from time to time. While we are not completely safe, we are still protected a great deal by an effective immune system that helps deal with pathogens and other threats.
One of the roles of bone marrow in the body is to manufacture red and white blood cells, and white blood cells in particular are an essential part of our immune system. As such, the bone marrow contains lymphoid and myeloid stem cells and this provides a significant boost to our immune system.
