Abstract

Building a robust immune system is essential for maintaining overall health and preventing illness. This paper explores the nutritional approach to enhancing immunity, focusing on the role of specific vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in supporting immune function. Key immune-boosting foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins, are highlighted for their contributions to a healthy diet. The synergistic effects of these foods in providing antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential nutrients are examined. Additionally, the paper discusses the impact of dietary patterns and lifestyle factors on immune health. Practical recommendations for incorporating immune-boosting foods into daily meals are provided, aiming to guide individuals in making informed dietary choices. By understanding the connection between nutrition and immune function, individuals can take proactive steps to build a stronger immune system and improve their overall well-being. This review underscores the importance of a balanced, nutrient-rich diet in fostering long-term health and resilience against infections.
