Immune-Nutrition and Inflammation Modulation

Immune-nutrition focuses on how specific nutrients and dietary patterns influence the immune system and help modulate inflammation, which is a key factor in many chronic diseases. Nutrients such as vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids play crucial roles in supporting immune function and reducing excessive inflammatory responses. By optimizing diet to include anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats, immune-nutrition aims to enhance the body’s defense mechanisms, promote healing, and lower the risk of infections and inflammatory conditions.
