Legătura dintre microbiom și imunitate. Ce rol au murăturile

The intestinal microbiome plays a crucial role in immune system function, with 70-80% of immune cells located in the digestive tract. Dr. Ioana Berciu emphasized the importance of diet, sleep, stress management, and exercise for maintaining microbiome balance, particularly during winter. A balanced diet rich in natural foods and low in processed products is essential. Fermented foods, such as pickles and fibers, support microbiome health by regulating intestinal transit and enhancing immune responses. Testing for microbiome balance should be done under medical guidance for accurate interpretation. Gradually increasing fiber intake and incorporating fermented foods like yogurt can help maintain microbiome health, while caution is advised regarding salt intake in pickles, especially for cardiovascular patients.
