Currently at the center of the interest of the scientific community, immunonutrition studies the implications of diet on our health, investigating how it is possible to better support the immune system with a "targeted diet and what are the nutraceutical strategies to be adopted that can really make a difference especially in this historical period, in which we are facing the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection.
The webinar organized by the Inflammation Research Foundation and Zone Academy, entitled "Immunonutrition: natural micronutrients and adaptogens", becomes the ideal opportunity to update on the state of these issues and on everything that the research promises for the future.
in two stages:
- Inflammation = Damage
- Resolution = Regeneration of damaged tissue
The triggering causes can be different and include: physical injury, bacterial and viral invasions, unbalanced diet (excess calories, high insulin levels, etc.), intestinal dysfunction, oxidative stress, drugs, pollution and emotional factors.
Whatever the reason, at first, the immune system must activate the process to block the consequences of the injury. Once the insult has been removed, the inflammation must be defused so that the tissue damage caused by the inflammatory reaction itself can be repaired.
However, if the initial response is not completely concluded, it can in turn become a new source of chronic low-level inflammation, a silent and asymptomatic process that, in the long run, has important repercussions on the whole organism, to the point of being associated with the onset of diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.
