An unhealthy diet makes the immune system more aggressive in the long run

The immune system responds similarly to a high fat, sugar and calorie diet as to bacterial infections, and the body’s defensive system becomes proactive in the long run – according to a researcher at the University of Bonn.

German experts have also shown that after the transition to a healthy diet, the immune response may continue to occur for a long time. These long-term changes may lead to the development of atherosclerosis and diabetes, which are illnesses related to the diet of the Western society. (MTI)
