The immune system helps produce antibodies to fight against infection 💪 However, antinuclear antibodies can interfere and do the opposite by attacking healthy cells, causing an autoimmune reaction.

The ANA test is a valuable tool that doctors use to help detect an autoimmune disease such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and other autoimmune diseases.

It is important to note that a positive ANA test does not mean the presence of disease!

📢 Always consult a professional doctor for medical advice and any questions you may have regarding autoimmune disease.

Often times, we try to aim for perfection in order to be healthy but that comes with its own stressors because we become disappointed by our failures. What we should aim for is improvements at a sustainable pace. Besides, what is truly "perfection?" Perfection has different meanings for different people. Create something sustainable for yourself and make improvements at your own pace so that your stressors will be less. Being healthy can be stressful and making changes at your own pace can minimize those stressors. What do you think?
