Increased resistance by almonds

New research by scientists reveals that natural chemicals found in the membrane of almond seeds help boost the immune system in the human body.

Researchers say almonds' membranes improve the ability of white blood cells to detect viruses, while increasing the body's ability to block replication of viruses that lead to spread. of them in the body.

They found that even when digested in the intestinal tract, the membrane of almonds still works to increase the protection of the immune system, helping the body to resist the virus.

Scientists have experimented with Herpes Simplex Type 2 virus infection, a virus that causes ulcers and is known to be difficult to treat because of its ability to evade its immune system.

The results showed that the extracts of almonds were remarkably effective in preventing ulcers. Scientists have not yet determined exactly which substance in the almond membrane is resistant to the virus, but they believe it could be a polyphenol compound. This compound increases the sensitivity of white blood cells called T helper - cells involved in resistance to the virus.

Dr. Martin Wickham of the Italian Food Research Institute said: ' This is a great concern for scientists to find natural solutions that are resistant to viruses '.

' The herpes simplex virus is a contagious virus that is difficult to treat because it has the ability to evade the immune system. Research has shown that almonds have an effective effect on the virus, indicating that it is also capable of affecting other viruses . '
