Food and Autoimmune Diseases: The Core Principle of Replacing Medicine with Food 1、 Food as Information: The Foundation of Nutritional GenomicsFood is not only a source of heat, but also an information carrier that transmits instructions to cells. Nutritional genomics research has shown that molecules in food can directly affect cellular behavior, determining whether to trigger inflammation or enhance immune protection. Due to the unique genes and biochemical constitution of each individual, the effects of the same food or medication […]
Overview of the Immune SystemThe human immune system is like a “cell army”, composed of lymphocytes (mainly T cells and B cells). T cells, especially cytotoxic T cells, can directly attack foreign invaders and engage in a “cell war”; B cells label and eliminate harmful substances by producing antibodies as “bullets”. The health status of the immune system is characterized by three key balances: 1 Balance between cytotoxic T cells and B cells; 2. Balance between helper T cells that […]
