Just 14 Days of Western Eating Sparks Alarming Health Changes

A recent study in Tanzania highlights the profound impact of diet on the immune system. Transitioning from a traditional African diet to a Western-style one for just two weeks was found to trigger inflammation, compromise immune response, and activate pathways associated with chronic diseases. In contrast, the traditional African diet, abundant in vegetables, fiber, and fermented foods, demonstrated positive effects on immunity and metabolism. Published in Nature Medicine, this research emphasizes the significant role of diet in immune function and metabolic health. (SciTechDaily)
