Nutritional immunology is a specialized field that investigates the complex interplay between nutrition and the immune system. It examines how dietary choices impact immune function, inflammation, and overall health. Nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants play vital roles in strengthening immune responses and maintaining a balanced immune system. A well-balanced diet can bolster the body's ability to fight infections and chronic diseases. Nutritional immunology provides insights into how food choices can influence our immune defenses, offering strategies to promote optimal health and resilience against diseases.
