The influence of nutrition on immunity studies the relatively young field of biomedical sciences, nutritional immunology. Nutritional immunology, in other words, the immunology of nutrition, often also referred to as immunonutritology, is a relatively new branch of medical sciences connecting two, at first glance, quite different
fields, the immunology, and the science of nutrition, the nutritology. In spite of this dissimilarity, immunonutritology has a broad impact on the health status of all layers of the population. Countless amounts of evidence indicates that non-adequate or reduced intake of nutrition was reflected not only in the classic signs of protein and
energy malnutrition (wasting or marasmus, kwashiorkor, etc.), but also a serious disturbance in the failure of immune functions. On the other hand, long-lasting increased feed intake is also connected with a negative effect on immunity.
