Despite the diversity of participants, distinct metabolic and immune system changes caused by the two diets were observed; This suggests that dietary changes continually affect widespread, interconnected pathways in the body. More studies are needed to examine how these nutritional interventions affect specific components of the immune system. According to the authors, the results of this study show that the immune system responds surprisingly quickly to nutritional interventions. The authors suggest that it may be possible to adapt diets to prevent disease or complement disease treatments, such as slowing processes associated with cancer or neurodegenerative disorders.
