How processed food deteriorate our immune system
Before First World War many societies had relied on the close surrounding communities to provide food. Outside resources were limited, expensive, therefore it was individual responsibility to provide nutrition.
After First World War malnutrition became an issue. The health issues had associated with food shortage. Problem had been solved by increasing agricultural production. Life standart had been changes, population had been grown. That time was accompanied by technological discoveries.
Manufacturing process decreased food prices. Food became accessible. Starvation was solved.
Popular food is high in refined grains, saturated fats, added sugar and sodium.
Sugar, sodium has been packed into every processed product, hijacking our brain chemistry and stimulates endless appetites, increasing overconsumption and weight gain, among other medical problems.
But nobody thought that it could lead to another problems ...
Highly Processed food became an important contributor to epidemic of chronic desease.
How processed food weaken our immune system?
Processed food = Poor Gut Health = Poor Immunity.
Bacteries are living in our guts, which help break down food, absorb nutrition, keep toxins out. This cells in our guts thrive on what we feed them.
Processed food causes the wrong bacteria and yeast to grow.
Our immune function becomes compomised and then we aren't able to fight off bugs like cold and flu the way we should.

Processed food = High Inflammation = Poor Immunity.
When we eat processed food our immune system activates the inflammation responce in effort to protect our cells and tissues.
When we bombard our body with more and more salt, sugar and fat, our immune cells start to overreact.
This chronic inflammation impairs our immune system's ability to respond when we come into contact with the flu.
FOOD CAN ALSO BE A SOLUTION
Replace processed food with fermentable fibers, natural sugar, nonrefined grains, fermented yogurt, kefir.....
TO EAT IS NECESSITY, BUT TO EAT INTELLIGENTLY IS AN ART.
