Our immune systems are incredibly complex. But one key way they work is by learning to distinguish between substances, bacteria, and viruses that can harm us—and ones that won’t.
Our gut microbes communicate with the various immune cells in our gut, and together they work to not only maintain an environment that’s beneficial to healthy microbes but also maintain a barrier to keep would-be invaders from getting through.
And the postbiotic substances they create as they ferment our food are anti-inflammatory, helping maintain a state of balance throughout the body.
In our bodies and throughout nature, there’s this idea of homeostasis which is a state of balance—like the moments after a good yoga class, when both your mind and body feel attentive yet relaxed.
Our guts and immune system alike are always seeking to be in this balance. An overactive, or over-responsive, immune system is like living in a body that’s always tensed and in fight-mode, while an underactive immune system under-responds—like a goalie who’s napping or making daisy chains.
Our gut microbes interact with our gut immune cells to bolster the kind of response they have to substances and microbes from the outside world.
It seems counterintuitive, but we want to be encountering microbes, foods, and substances so our immune systems can get trained. And sometimes in that learning process, we do get sick.
Getting sick is never fun, but if you’ve ever experienced a cold that lasted for weeks, and then turned into something else, you know there’s a difference between a little sick and really sick.
Because of how your gut microbes interact with your immune system to recognize and respond, they also play a role in your recovery too: how quick and easy it is to return your body to a state of balance, with everything humming along and focused on supporting your ability to thrive.
