Build up your resistance with yeast

We are constantly exposed to bacteria and virus attacks. The largest organ in contact with the outside world, however, is not the skin (2 m² surface area) but the intestines (500 m² surface area). When we eat, not only valuable nutrients but also bacteria and fungi pass into the intestines. The greater part of our immune system is therefore centred in the intestines. In combination with a healthy intestinal flora, it protects us from the germs which make us ill.

This immune system can be made weaker or stronger. Whereas stress, foreign chemical agents, medication or the wrong foods weaken the immune system the prebiotics contained in food strengthen our immune system. Special yoghurt cultures to strengthen our immune system are well-known. What many people don’t know, however, is that the effective yeast substances glucan and zymosan have a similar positive effect on the intestinal immune system. They work so well that special yeast products are successfully used to counteract holiday sickness.

You will find more information on this highly topical subject in our book on how yeast and bacteria can boost our health.
