Biology
1 answer:
djyliett [7]4 years ago

Answer:

Exposure to the disease

Explanation:

Before vaccines,  the only way to develop immunity to a disease was to be exposed to the disease-causing pathogen without being harmed by it. A good example of this is smallpox, which was also the first vaccine developed. It was noticed that milk maids weren't catching and dying from small pox like everyone else, because they had been exposed to cowpox. This premise was used to create the first vaccine.

Vaccines give you immunity by injecting you with a small amount of a (usually inactive) pathogen. inside your body.  This means your immune system produces antibodies against it. Similar to what happened with the milkmaids.

Research studies suggest that a high-fiber diet protects against _____.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Research studies suggest that a high-fiber diet protects against colon cancer. This is because high fibrous food increases the bulk in the digestive tract to pass easily through the intestinal tract to shorten the time of passage. This short time of passage of food reduces the interaction of carcinogens present in the food with the intestinal tract. The fibers are broken down in butyrate by the bacteria present in the lower intestine. This butyrate inhibits the growth of tumors of colon and rectum,
