The agro toxics used on agriculture and the mineral depletion in soils are a great problem and also the miss of vitamins and minerals on the vegetables and fruits.

How food may influence our immune system? Inflammatory food is a strike to our immune system, because they cause inflammatory disorders as leaky gout and many others. Those are why it’s so important eaten biological and seasonal food and avoid sweets and gluten, and so on.
