Scientists: The content of fiber in the diet prevents asthma, allergies, diabetes and other autoimmune diseases

The content of fat in the diet is directly linked to allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases. Experts claim that this relationship provides the bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Generally gastrointestinal tract has an important role in immunity. Depending on the composition of the gut microbiome in human, its status changes.

The gastrointestinal tract is extremely important for the functioning of the entire human body. intestinal flora - the first one of the barriers to the penetration of allergens and infections. Fiber helps to reinforce the immune system and protect against allergies, diabetes and asthma, say experts. The diet of modern man is not rich in fiber. Natural unprocessed foods are replaced by the finished food. As a result, large numbers of people gaining weight and suffering from chronic disease, writes The Sydney Morning Herald. Researchers from the Monastic University, led by Professor Charles Makey compared the intestinal flora of children in Africa and Italy. When the experts compared the microbiome of Italian and African children, they found differences in their composition. In African children rarely develop allergies and asthma. In addition, their microbiome is very diverse and has a specific bacteria that break down cellulose. As a result of this process produced short-chain fatty acids.

These compounds are very important for maintaining gastrointestinal tract, and, hence, normal immunity. The fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects, retain the intestinal lining and prevent infiltration of bacteria through the intestinal wall. If the bacterium is blood seeping through the intestinal wall, there is the risk of various diseases, including diabetes and type 1.
