What dietary recommendations are beneficial for autoimmune disorders?
Consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, moderate alcohol, limited sugars, sodas, and refined grains can be beneficial for autoimmune disorders and inflammatory conditions.
How does the gut play a role in autoimmune disorders?
Autoimmune disorders often originate in the gut due to immune system barriers like tight junctions, acids, bile, and lactic acid, impacting intestinal permeability and immune response.
What influences the development of the immune system in infants?
The immune system development in infants is influenced by natural childbirth and breastfeeding, which impact microbiome and immune health, affecting immune system function in the long term.
What foods can help regulate zonulin and reduce gut permeability?
Probiotic foods, fermented vegetables, and sulforaphane-rich vegetables like broccoli can help regulate zonulin, reduce gut permeability, and support immune system function.
How can one prevent autoimmune conditions through diet?
