## Abstract

The pandemic has brought attention to the importance of a healthy immune system in preventing infectious diseases. In this in‐depth review, the process by which nutritional interventions and fundamental nutrients affect immune function has been discussed with the goal of enhancing the body's natural defenses against viral infections. We explored the complex interplay between diet and immunology, highlighting the essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive substances that are crucial for enhancing immune response. We also investigated the effect of dietary patterns and supplementation methods on immune function. We assessed the effectiveness and potential mechanisms of action of various nutritional therapies in modifying immune responses through a thorough examination of scientific literature. Additionally, we go through the significance of individualized nutrition and highlight possible factors to consider for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and people with chronic conditions. This review attempts to provide a thorough understanding of the role of diet in boosting immunity by synthesizing available research. It also offers insights into practical methods for enhancing the immune function during the current epidemic and in the future.

The phase of pandemic has brought attention to how important a healthy immune system is in preventing infectious diseases. In this in‐depth review, the process that how nutritional interventions and fundamental nutrients affect immune function has been mentioned with the goal of enhancing the body's natural defenses against viral infections.
