Macronutrients vs. Micronutrients
Unlike the era when poverty and starvation were rampant, many of us have access to sufficient sources of macronutrients as well as vitamins and minerals. However, too much of macronutrients can jeopardize the health of immune system. Nutritional Immunology teahces us that it is important to fuel up on disease-preventing plant foods.
According to John Potter, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota, almost every step on the path to cancer can be retarded by one or more compounds in fruits or vegetables.
Dr Paul Talalay of John Hopkins Medical Institution adds, "Now we have wonderful evidence that if you eat more fruits and vegetables, you will have lower risk of cancer in several organs.
MACRONUTRIENTS:
-include carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
-these are nutrients needed for basic survival.
-are important building blocks for essential body functions. They help control our PROSTAGLANDINS, an essential system of hormones that control inflammation.
MICRONUTRIENTS:
-an arsenal of plant compounds--antioxidants, phytochemicals and polysaccharides.
-research proves that these mivcronutrients bolster the immune system even when we taken in large amounts, as long as they are from natural and wholesome sources like herbs, fruits and vegetables.

Proper Nutrition=Macronutrients+Micronutrients+Fiber
When we heard the phrase 'proper nutrition', what comes to mind? Is it only about the nutrients the Food guide Pyramid asks us to consume or is there a bigger picture? According to Nutritional Immunology, proper nutrition involves a diet that includes a healthy balance of macronutrients, plant food micronutrients and fiber.
Until early 2005, many of us may have seen or even referred to the older version of the Food Guide Pyramid. It outlines how much of each food group we should eat each day to be healthy. Altogether, the pyramid proposes a higher intake of carbohydrate and protein than fruits and vegetables. It advises fats to be used sparingly. However, scientist have pointed out the pyramid's inadequacies because meat and dairy products also contain fat. Fiber is linked with grains at the base of the pyramid but mnay fruits and vegetables are rich in disease-preventing fiber!
To make matter worse, numerous groups have come up with their own version of food pyramids. Some experts believe that these inconsistencies could be linked to the rising number of cancer cases and the explosion of obesity in all corners of the world.

Food Fuels the Immune System
According to Nutritional Immunology, what we eat daily directly affects how our immune system works and the way we look, feel and act.
Om a deeper level, food fuels the immune system. When we eat a variety of plant foods regularly, the fuel is usually nutritious. However, when we eat too many animal products or foods high in saturated fat, salt and sugar, we deprive our immune system of disease-fighting nutrients. When we are healthy, wholesome foods contribute to a strong immune response. Similarly, when we are sick, proper nourishment and sufficient rest can help us recover from illness faster.
We know that drugs(medicine) can help us to combat cancer but there are many considerations that doctors and patients must weight before we rely on chemicals to help the body. Will we see a desired effect? Are we getting the safest, most effective dosage? Will there be adverse side effects?(For cancer, the answer is almost a 'YES'.) Will this drug interact negatively with other drugs? However, each time we choose wholesome foods, we allow our internal doctor, the immune system, to do its work and extremely well, without a flurry of worries about side effects and proper dosage.

Nutritional Immunology Brings Hope of Health and Longetivity
The United Nation estimates that today, 1 in every 10 people is 60 years or older. In a world population of 6 billion, that amounts to 600 million elderly, By 2050, it is projected that 1 in every 5 of us will be at least 60 years old. This is not surprising. In fact, scientist have recovered that we have the potential to liva a vibrant and meaningful life until at least 120 years old. It's also possible for us to live to be even 150 years old!!!
We are unable to expect the elderly to remain physically active as they age. This create an urgent need for disease-preventing foods. The only way to help the elderly to stay healthy is to teach them to eat more plant foods. This establishes and strengthens the need for a life-prolonging science like Nutritional Immunology.

Prevention Over Cure: A New Health Concept
Over decades, many people make an extra effort to note their nutritional intake when they are sick, but few take the preventive measure that could have stopped the illness before it started. Studies show that 2/3 of America tends to put more fats and refined sugar than plant foods on its plate, leaving little room for essential nutrients needed to maintain health.
High fat and high sugar increased cancer risk.
Is it any wonder then that at least a million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year?
Think about it. And Think about your daily nutrients intake. Did you really achieve a healthy diet?

为什么人类那么容易生病？我们会怎么做？我们该怎么做？到底有什么东西可以帮我们去预防它？
现今的社会，我们可以发现到有许多人很容易地感染上疾病或是生病。
是否生病对他们来说已经是家常便饭？为何此状况会发生呢？
为何当我们去看医生，希望透过药物或是疫苗来治疗我们的疾病时却发现到是无效的呢？为何才痊愈又再生病了呢？
如果有人告诉我们说我们应该相信医生，那么如果医生可以治得了我们的并，为何医院越开越多？
为何医院越建越大间？为何医院会爆满？在中央医院，有些病人还没康复就要被逼要提早出院？
如果我们要预防H1N1而注射疫苗来预防，那么为何会发生韩国小女孩在注射疫苗后死亡的案件呢？疫苗是否安全可靠的？那为何美国政府会要求回收已经在市场上销售的疫苗呢？
如果药物是非常可靠的，那么就不会发生：
-因错误服食药物而死亡，
-因在医院受感染而死亡，
-因药物的副作用而死亡。
而且医院的数量也会减少（因为没有人那么容易生病了）
这些事实只不过告诉我们，我们不可以长期依赖医生或药物来治疗我们的病。药物只有在紧急状况时才会发挥救人的作用。长期依赖药物反而会要了我们的命。
为什么呢？
根据美国的科学研究家的研究报告显示，我们人类一出生时，就已经有一个全世界最好的医生伴随着我们来到这个世界上，那就是我们自身的免疫系统。
免疫系统对我们来说是非常重要的，因为它们是我们人体内的最后一道防线，负责对抗细菌和病毒。免疫系统也是我们在这世上存活的关键,因为专家说，如果我们一出生就没有免疫系统，那么我们无法在这个世界上存活超过24小时。
免疫系统负责：
(I) 抵抗外来侵物
(II) 清楚体内的垃圾
(III) 修补受损细胞
根据科学研究家，其实我们体内的免疫系统可以帮助我们对抗各种疾病/细菌/病毒的，包括H1N1. 这是因为如果我们有提供正确的营养给我们的细胞，那么我们就会提升我们的免疫系统，来对抗外来的疾病。我们体内的其中一个免疫细胞就是我们的白血球。我们 自身的免疫细胞可以产生十亿种以上不同的抗体，来抵抗细菌病毒，而且特别的是它们有记忆功能，又毫无副作用。
其中一个例子就是水痘。当水痘病毒入侵了我们的体内，我们的免疫细胞（杀手细胞和辅助细胞）就会去对付它，产生适当的抗体来对付该病毒。当病毒被铲除后， 免疫细胞就会留下一些记忆细胞在现场，以方便日后若有相同的病毒入侵时，它们就会立刻产生相同的抗体来对付。这也就是免疫系统强的人不会有第二次的水痘。
目前市场上只有300多种的antibiotic，也就是所谓的抗生素。抗生素是依照我们体内的免疫细胞而制造的，目的就是要取代体内的免疫细胞以让我们 在短期内康复。但是，抗生素是有副作用的，而且没有记忆，一旦吃了医生给的抗生素就得吃到完为止。这过程中会损害到我们的身体的免疫系统的操作。所以，在 欧洲国家，除非是紧急状况，就算是感冒或是咳嗽，不然医生绝对不会给抗生素的。
再续。。。
