Study: Bacteria Are Good for Our Immune System Body
Lactic acid bacteria, which can be found in fermented foods such as sauerkraut or yoghurt, support our immune system and hence human health (cf. http://www.gesunde-bakterien.de/en/fermentation-bacteria-preserve-foods-and-nutrients-2/). Scientists at the University of Leipzig have now demonstrated the mechanisms behind this. They examined how lactic acid bacteria interact with specific receptors on the surface of cells in our
Bacteria Strengthen Our Immune System Body,General,Well-being
When, from November to February, people sniffle, cough, and complain about influenzal infections or the common cold, we are repeatedly reminded to boost our immune system.

The result: Our skin becomes vulnerable to infections, even though or rather precisely because it is kept “clinically” clean. A team of scientists at the National Institute of Allergy
