Impact of Diet on Autoimmune Disease

Eating a poor diet with deficiencies in nutrients can lead to immune system dysregulation, causing autoimmune diseases. The immune system attacks the body's own tissues in conditions like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, among others. Genetic factors, environmental influences, such as microbiome development and stress, can contribute to autoimmune disease risk.
