Abstract
Immunonutrition, a burgeoning field at the intersection of nutrition and immunology, explores how dietary components can modulate immune function to enhance health outcomes. This review synthesizes current research on immunonutrition, focusing on the mechanisms through which specific nutrients and dietary patterns influence immune responses. Key nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants are examined for their roles in supporting immune cell proliferation, regulating inflammatory pathways, and improving immune surveillance. Additionally, dietary patterns like the Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, are discussed for their comprehensive impact on immune health. The influence of gut microbiota on immune modulation through dietary interventions such as prebiotics and probiotics is also explored. Clinical implications highlight the potential of immunonutrition in enhancing immune resilience and reducing the risk of infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Future directions include advancing mechanistic understanding, conducting rigorous clinical trials, and developing personalized approaches to optimize immune function through dietary strategies. By harnessing the immunomodulatory properties of nutrition, immunonutrition offers promising avenues for improving public health and personalized healthcare practices.
