Doctors believe that some foods depresses the immune system.
Experts argue again the hypothesis that the foods that contain a lot of calories and fats, not only contribute to overweight, as reported by ScienceDaily. According to researchers, the growth of body weight with this diet – it’s just not home, and accompanying the signal of disturbances in the body. The more dangerous factor is the decrease in immunity.
“Fatty food is bad for health. Studies show that the ability to fight infection does not affect the obesity, and fat content in food”, – cites the opinion of scientists.
A decrease in the activity of the immune system with the consumption of fatty foods was identified in experiments on mice. Animals were divided into groups, in accordance with the level of fat in their regular diet. Summarizing the results proved that those individuals who received due fat 60 percent of total calories – more poor health than in animals treated from fat, only 10% of calories. “White blood cells in the first group of mice less involved in the fight against bacteria in the blood, and many of them died from sepsis,” – said the authors of the project.
According to them, the results of the experiments are fully applicable to the people. Experts say that lovers fat food are at increased risk of infection, for example, in connection with the operation because of the decreased functionality of the immune system.
Earlier, representatives of science said: highly active human immune system is able to cope with almost any disease, including cancer.
