Host with compromised nutrient network could trigger a cascade leading to chronic inflammation and disease🧬✨
Here’s how it works:
🛑 Loss of Tolerance: When the body lacks key nutrients, it disrupts essential counterregulatory immune responses—our natural "peacekeepers" like IL-10 and regulatory T cells.
⚖️ Unalamination Imbalance: This nutrient deficiency also hampers unalamation—a concept introduced in a by Krishna Rao Maddipati in @FrontImmunology.
Unalamation aligns with counterregulatory responses, emphasizing the balance between "inflammatory" mediators (inflammins) and anti-inflammatory ones (unalamins) to maintain health. Without enough unalamins, the body can’t regulate inflammins, leading to chronic inflammation—a condition linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and more.
🌿 Nutrients That Matter:
✅ Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in salmon, walnuts, flaxseeds—key for anti-inflammatory mediators.
✅ Vitamin D: Get it from sunlight, fatty fish, and fortified dairy for immune tolerance.
✅ Magnesium: Found in leafy greens, nuts, and seeds for balancing inflammation.
✅ Vitamin C & E: Citrus, bell peppers, and nuts fight oxidative stress and support immunity.
✅ Zinc & Selenium: Found in shellfish, seeds, and Brazil nuts to regulate immune responses.
✅ Fiber: Whole grains, fruits, and legumes feed gut microbiota for anti-inflammatory benefits.
✅ Takeaway: A nutrient-rich diet isn’t just good for energy—it’s essential for maintaining immune tolerance, restoring unalamination, and preventing chronic diseases.
