(1)
Living with an autoimmune disease can be: * Frustrating
* Isolating * Overwhelming
* And debilitating…
And it’s not always easy to identify...
In fact...
There are more than 80 different ways that autoimmune diseases can present in the body.
An autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system confuses healthy cells with harmful
bacterias...
And as a result…
It attacks healthy organs and tissue in various ways.

* Type 1 diabetes… where the immune system attacks the pancreas
* Psoriasis… where it attacks the skin cells * Multiple sclerosis… where it attacks the
nervous system * And Lupus… which affects tissues and organs.
The list of autoimmune diseases is lengthy...
And to add another layer of complexity to what is already a tricky disease to diagnose…
...The same autoimmune disease can manifest differently in everyone.

that works for autoimmune disease…
So many women go looking for ways to manage their symptoms naturally…
But...
Can you really rebalance your immune system simply through the FOOD you eat?

Starting with…
Number 7.
Sweet Potatoes
Whether you like them: * Boiled
* Steamed * Roasted
* Or mashed…
Adding sweet potatoes to your diet may help to calm your immune system.
Unlike regular potatoes... sweet potatoes do not contain nightshade alkaloids, which
have been linked to allergy-related symptoms.
This tasty and versatile vegetable comes with a high amount of: (2)
* Potassium * Beta-carotene antioxidants
* Vitamin C * And Vitamin A.
Because of its nutrient composition… sweet potatoes may:
* ➤Soothe inflammation * Support healthy cell protection
* And decrease vitamin deficiency… caused by autoimmune disease.
In fact, experts have linked vitamin A deficiency with multiple autoimmune diseases.
A study on multiple sclerosis found that…
(2)
Which are believed to play a significant role in autoimmune disease.
Along with that... the study also found that adding vitamin A supplementation can:
* Decrease IFNγ cells * And stimulate the production of protective
antigens.
But that’s not all.
The beta carotene found in sweet potatoes may also have benefits for autoimmune disease.
A 2012 study suggests that... beta carotene can inhibit the production of cytokine cells...
Which can reduce inflammation of the immune system.
(3)
Eating one large sweet potato is enough to provide you with the recommended daily intake
of: * Vitamin A
* And Carotene.
And they really do taste great…
...So go ahead and enjoy sweet potato regularly as part of your lunch or dinner.
Number 6.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive oil has been at the center of recent studies linked to autoimmune disease.
It is rich in two major components... that play an essential role in managing the inflammation
that fuels autoimmune diseases.
(3)
The first one is oleic acid.
This monounsaturated fatty acid has been the focus of many studies, including a recent
one in 2020.
(4)
Researchers observed the impact of the oleic acid found in extra virgin olive oil…
...by testing different scenarios on rats with autoimmune diseases.
At the end of the experiment…
They observed that extra virgin olive oil may protect against oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress defines an imbalance in healthy cells…
This seems to suggest that... while oxidative stress can influence and aggravate autoimmune
disease…
Olive oil may prevent it from spreading within the cells.
Along with oleic acid… the oil also comes with oleocanthal antioxidants.
A study published by Science Direct suggests that…
(5)
Oleocanthal can be a therapeutic solution for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
All-in-all… * the oleic acid
* and oleocanthal antioxidants...
Found in extra virgin olive oil can help fight inflammation…
Which is often present in autoimmune disease.
It’s suggested that adding 1 to 2 tablespoons to your meals may, over time... bring the
soothing benefits that extra virgin olive oil has to offer.
Number 5.
Sunflower Seeds Sprinkled over yogurt or salad…
Sunflower seeds are a nutrient-dense food... that pack a powerful punch when it comes to
calming your autoimmune disease.
Sunflower seeds shine because they contain vitamin E. (4)
A 100g serving of sunflower seeds delivers up to 35 mg of this vitamin… which is double
the recommended daily intake.
So… why is vitamin E important when you’re dealing with an autoimmune disease?
Well… when the immune system attacks the body…
It implies that the immune cells: (5) * TH1… which helps the body fight virus
and bacterias * and TH2 … which defends us against larger
organisms and parasites... are unbalanced.
A healthy level of vitamin E can boost and rebalance these essential cells.
A review following cellular laboratory testing observed that vitamin E could: (6)
* Enhance the production of TH1 cells * And reverse the chronic inflammation triggered
by TH2 cells.
Sunflower seeds also contain selenium minerals… which help to: (6)
* Fight free radicals in the body.
* And may help to calm symptoms related to the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
In a study conducted in Austria…
PhD students noted that… sunflower peptide could soothe pain related to chronic inflammatory
diseases.
(7)
So while more research linking sunflower seeds and autoimmune diseases is needed...
The current data suggests that... the components found in sunflower seeds, including vitamin
E...
...Are a great aid to your immune system.
Number 4.
Fatty Fish While all types of fish are considered a healthy
addition to any diet…
Fatty fish can be particularly beneficial when you suffer from an autoimmune disease.
* Salmon * Sardines
* Herring * Mackerel
* Or Anchovies…
Are all great sources of omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
These fatty acids inhibit inflammatory marker C-reactive protein…
Which has shown to aggravate autoimmune reactions.
A review of animal experiments and clinical trials… looked at the link between fish’s
fatty acid and autoimmune disease.
(8)
After gathering data…
Researchers noted that supplementing with fish oil could signific antly benefit autoimmune
diseases such as...
* Arthritis * Crohn’s
* Ulcerative colitis * And Lupus diseases.
The review found that those diseases all have high levels of IL-1… or pro-inflammatory
cytokine…
Which can be decreased with omega 3 fatty acids.
Additionally… experts also noted the importance of balancing...
* Omega 3… or monounsaturated fat * with omega 6… or polyunsaturated fat...
...within the body.
Studies have also noted that... an imbalance between these 2 types of fats...
(9)
...can actually aggravate the production of cytokines in patients with autoimmune disease.
Overall…
This suggests that consuming omega-3 is essential… but only in a controlled amount.
While individual needs may vary...
...Experts recommend eating fatty fish 2 times per week.
(7)
Number 3.
Mushrooms When you have autoimmune disease…
It is often recommended that you cut back your consumption of meat and dairy.
However… cutting back means that you’re likely to have a Vitamin D deficiency…
Which can aggravate your symptoms.
Recent research found evidence that a … including: (10)
* Multiple sclerosis * Type 1 diabetes
* And Lupus.
But you will be pleased to know that mushrooms are one of the only plant sources of vitamin
D.
Wild mushrooms contain nearly 3 times the recommended daily intake of Vitamin D2. (8)
It is also worth noting that… along with vitamin D…
White mushrooms contain multiple antioxidant compounds including: (9)
* Phenol * And Ergothioneine.
Phenol is an antioxidant that targets free radicals and damaged cells... which helps
the body cleanse.
Ergothioneine is a type of amino acid that has been shown to replenish the gut of good
bacteria and fungi.
Thanks to these components… various studies demonstrated that white mushrooms: (11)
* Can reduce oxidative stress, * And may protect tissues against proinflammatory
cytokine markers.
All-in-all… mushrooms may calm your autoimmune disease by:
* Replenishing your vitamin D deficiency * And reducing the damage caused by chronic
inflammation.
You can consume both wild and white mushrooms raw, cooked, or in powder form…
The opportunities to add mushrooms to your meals are endless.
Number 2.
Green Tea Rich with detoxing and anti-inflammatory properties…
Green tea is considered one of the healthiest drinks available to us… thanks to its healing
power.
But..
Can this hot drink have a soothing impact on your immune system?
Let’s find out.
Green tea is rich in epigallocatechin-3-gallate… also known as EGCG.
(10)
It is an antioxidant that reduces the production of cytokine cells…
The villain that keeps popping up when it comes to autoimmune diseases.
A 2016 Japanese review explored the efficacy of Green Tea’s EGCG compounds on inflammation.
(12)
After examining various cellular, animal, and human experiments…
Researchers observed that… green tea effectively reduced pro-inflammatory cells in the body.
Another study looked a little bit deeper… by examining the link between green tea and
autoimmune response.
(13)
Using rats for the experiment… researchers fed each group of rats different dosages of
green tea over 3 weeks…
Before inducing Arthritis autoimmune disease in the animals.
When the final data was collected… they observed that a high concentration of green
tea reduced…
* The concentration of cytokine * And the severity of the autoimmune response.
This indicates that the antioxidants found in green tea...
May be beneficial at calming autoimmune inflammation and symptoms.
However… it is important to note that this hot drink does contain caffeine.
So, to get the healing benefits without triggering more inflammation...
It is best to limit your consumption to 1 cup per day… or as recommended by your doctor.
Autoimmune diseases can be difficult to manage and navigate…
And certain foods might not work for every disease and everyone.
When it comes to food…
It is best to look at the nutrient profile... and how it can help, or harm, your symptoms.

in the body...
Is the key to calming the immune system.
And turmeric may be one of the best spices for autoimmune balance.
(11)
This golden spice has recently been tested against a wide variety of autoimmune diseases…
And the results are promising.
Research has shown that turmeric primarily...
* Reduces the production of antibodies * Modulates the activation of antibodies
* And finally, inhibits the migration of antibodies.
A broad study noted that curcumin... a substance found in turmeric... may prevent autoimmune
disease…
(14)
...By regulating the cytokines within the signaling pathways of the immune cells.
In fact…
It has been suggested that curcumin can be... extremely powerful at hindering the development
of skin and tissue-related autoimmune diseases...
...Such as: * Multiple sclerosis
* And Psoriasis.
A randomized study gave curcumin extract to patients with severe psoriasis.
(15)
After testing with patients with either * Real visible light phototherapy VLRT
* Or stimulated visible light therapy VLST…
They found that curcumin could efficiently soothe psoriasis plaque…
When activated by visible light therapy… with VLRT being most effective.
This suggests that the curcumin found in turmeric can be beneficial at:
* Reducing inflammation * And regulating antibodies…
... alongside complementary treatments for autoimmune diseases.
So, how can you add more turmeric to your diet… and reduce inflammation in your body?
