Abstract:
The immune system is a tightly controlled system in which any deviation can cause pathogenic symptoms. Specific immune responses are produced by immune regulatory mechanisms in response to the consumption of certain foods. Dairy products are a vital component of our diet. Proteins, lipids and other components make a vital percentage of dairy products that regulate different immune processes in humans and mice. Immune system protects the body against invading pathogens. Dairy products, particularly milk, contain bioactive molecules that can boost or suppress aspects of humoral and cellular immunity. The combination of dairy products in addition provides additional protection against certain auto-immune, inflammatory and other diseases. NK cell activity and reduction in allergies have been improved by dairy products. Bioactive peptides, sphingomyelin (a lipid) and high and low-fat dairy products have different outcomes. Lactobacillus, a bacterium found in yogurt has also a fundamental role in enhancing immunity. Dairy products are also useful vehicles for the delivery of probiotics to the body that acts as a protection shield against certain infections. Lower risk of metabolic diseases i.e. CVD & Diabetes has been linked to the use of Dairy Products.
