Аннотация
Nutrition is an essential process for maintaining the body’s health. Macro- (proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids)
and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and biologically active substances) form the foundation of all processes in living organisms. An insufficient or excessive intake of nutrients can lead to various functional and structural disorders
of organs and organ systems, including the immune system. Studying the influence of these nutrients on the immune
system as a whole, as well as on immune status parameters, provides an opportunity to adjust immune status indicators by activating or suppressing specific immune functions as needed through individualized dietary plans.
Keywords: micronutrients, macronutrients, immune system, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins.
