More than 80 diseases occur as a result of the immune system attacking the body’s own organs, tissues, and cells.
Why does this happen?
Often it's due to a person's genetic makeup (but, not always). Epigenetic exposures are generally required to trigger the expression of the autoimmune disease process. Cross-reactivity (foods or other environmental exposures and or bacteria, virus, etc).
Epigenetic exposures include:
Diet
Physical activity
Medications
Aging
Sleep
Environmental Chemicals
Hormonal Imbalances
Trauma
In Utero Environment
Light Exposure
Microbiota
Viruses
Stress
Smoking
Lack of Oxygen
Inflammation
There is a LOT that can affect our immune system, but you can control a lot with nutrition (and remember, it needs to be a bio-individual approach).
