Nutrition*Immunity*Longivity (Nutritional Immunology)
Nutritional Immunology is a science that studies the link between nutrition and the immune system. A healthy immune system can prevent diseases and help the body stay healthy. However, when deprived of sufficient nutrients, the immune system becomes weak and unable to defend against cancer and other diseases. The human body requires a constant supply of nutrients. When one is healthy, balanced nutrition can help prevent illness; when ill, adequate nourishment aids in recovery. The relationship between a nutrient and immune system response forms the basis of Nutritional Immunology.
