In vertebrates, the immune system is considered the last line of defense against foreign invaders.It fights by destroying pathogens and tumor cells using mechanisms that constantly adapt to recognize and rid these disease causing cells.
Which is Better for Weight Loss? Some studies have found that low-carb diets are more effective for weight loss and fat loss than low-fat diets. A study published in 2014 in Annals of Internal Medicine showed that this was the case, even after a period of 12 months.
But now, doctors are suggesting that this kind of diet could actually make Type 2 diabetes worse. And instead of cutting down on fat, thousands of patients like Diane are being advised to switch to a low-carbohydrate diet instead. Experts say this âAtkins-styleâ approach of eating fewer carbs could even soon be recommended to everyone as a way of lowering our risk of getting Type 2 diabetes in the first place.
