چکیده
Proper nutrition offers one of the most effective and least costly ways to decrease the burden of numerous diseases and their associated risk factors. Modern nutritional research significantly contributes to improving health of both current and future generations. An important part of nutrition and health is immuno-nutrition, which can be defined as the effect of the provision of specific nutrients on immune function. Another explanation of this term is the description of enteral feeding formulas that have been supplemented with some combination of amino acids, nucleic acids, oils, herbs, and additional vitamins and minerals. We can also understand nutrition as the science of food, particularly in relation to health and disease.
