Nutrition plays a pivotal role in the immune system's functioning.A wide range of nutrients, including vitamins A, C, D... folic acid, iron, zinc, selenium, and copper, as well as certain amino acids and fatty acids, are crucial for maintaining an optimal immune response, and their deficiencies are linked to increased susceptibility to pathogens.Overnutrition and obesity are also associated with reduced immunity, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrient intake.Nutrient availability and competition for nutrients among immune cells are essential for controlling immune responses, particularly in nutrient-limiting environments such as tumour or infection sites.Nutrients can directly act as co-factors and regulators of the immune system, influencing the development and function of immune cells and the expression of critical immunoregulatory genes. Specific nutrients, such as vitamin E, selenium, and fatty acids, have modulated immune responses and may influence the pathogenicity of viruses and other immune-related diseases.Micronutrients are essential for the proper functioning of various immune cells, and deficiencies can lead to decreased cell activity, cytokine expression, and increased susceptibility to health conditions.Dietary patterns, such as the Mediterranean diet and supplementation with nutraceuticals like vitamin D and zinc, can positively or negatively affect immune function, potentially mediated through the gut microbiota.In conclusion, a balanced intake of essential nutrients is fundamental for the immune system to function effectively. Deficiencies in micronutrients can lead to compromised immunity, while overnutrition can also have detrimental effects. The intricate interplay between diet, nutrient availability, and immune cell function underscores the importance of nutrition in maintaining immune health and combating diseases.
