Autoimmune Diseases & Diet: What You Need to Know

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. The foods you eat can either trigger inflammation or help regulate immune function.

Key Dietary Triggers:

  • Gluten: Linked to increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut).

  • Dairy: Can provoke immune reactions in sensitive individuals.

  • Refined Sugar: Feeds harmful bacteria and promotes inflammation.

  • Processed Oils: Hydrogenated and seed oils can disrupt cell membranes.

Foods That Support Autoimmune Health:

  • Bone broth: Rich in collagen to support gut healing.

  • Wild-caught fish: Omega-3s reduce inflammation.

  • Fermented foods: Promote a healthy microbiome.

  • Leafy greens & cruciferous vegetables: Support detoxification.
