A healthy immune system almost 70% dependent on the state of the intestinal microflora
This statement was made by scientists from the University of California, says Science: they believe that it is necessary to eat fibrous food.
Researchers from the United States concluded that dietary fiber is the best food for intestinal bacteria. In the assimilation of the fibers of the intestinal microbiome are highlighted substances, which improve protective functions of the body.
“Fibrous foods are the most preferred bacteria of the intestine. When it is formed cleavage of short-chain fatty acids, which can stimulate the receptors of immune cells, it activates the antimicrobial immune response”, is given in Science to the scientists.
Before making this finding, the researchers studied the interaction of the body’s intestinal microorganisms, cells of the immune system and coloncity (cells of the mucous membrane of the large intestine).
According to them, protection of humans from disease-causing pathogens depends to a great extent from the activity of bacteria resident operating in conjunction with coloncity. When a person eats food rich in fiber, fiber, coloncity operate so that the bacteria resident be most protected from destruction.
The best sources of dietary fiber are plant foods – berries, vegetables and fruits and nuts.
