In a broad sense, your immune system helps you fight disease.
There are two parts to the immune system:
Non-specific immunity + Specific immunity.
Nonspecific immunity
Consists of your skin, saliva, mucus, etc. Skin is the most important part in keeping diseases from entering your body. Saliva and mucus produce chemicals known as lysozomes which kill diseases.
Specific immunity
If the disease gets past nonspecific immunity, specific immunity kicks in. It is sort of a long process but I will keep it short. First certain white cells identify the disease. This is so the body can recognize it if you get the same disease in the future. The next step is when the body releases cells which produce chemicals to kill the disease.
Hope this helped.
