ABSTRACT

It is generally recognized that there is a relationship between nutrition and immunity or health. From past 20 years onwards, the relationship of immunity with psychological and neurological factors is also becoming clear. In the last 20 years, it has become much clearer that psychological and neurological factors also influence immunity.  A healthy diet, not deficient in energy, nutrients and micronutrients is essential to prevent and fight off diseases. Through various researches it can be said that nutrition affects the immune system of our body directly and indirectly.   During inflammation, the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines not only leads to activation of immune cells but also to a decrease in appetite and increased catabolism of muscle tissue. In conclusion, there is an intricate relationship between stress, nutrition and immunity.
