Australian researchers found that high-fiber foods can enhance the immunity of experimental mice and increase the survival rate of experimental mice infected with influenza virus.
Researchers from the University of Monash, Australia, published a report in the American Journal of Immunization that they have found through animal experiments that high-fibre foods can activate white blood cells, increase the immunity of experimental mice, and help them fight the influenza virus. The researchers said that the dual role of dietary fiber may be that they help to change the composition of the intestinal microflora and increase the production of short-chain fatty acids, which can provide the necessary energy for cell growth and help eliminate inflammation.
Benjamin Maslan, who was involved in the study, said that some specific therapies will make our immune system either "fire full" or shut down entirely, and surprisingly, dietary fiber will "selectively" shut down part of the immune system. , and open another part.
The next step for researchers is to explore the exact mechanisms by which dietary changes affect the immune system, and to study what doses and types of dietary fiber can maximize human immunity.
Foods rich in dietary fiber include oats, black beans, lentils, red kidney beans, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, Brussels sprouts, flax seeds, raspberries, dried figs, and almonds. Researchers believe that the high sugar content and low fiber content in modern Western diets are not conducive to improving the body's immune system.
