Nutritional intake plays a critical role in health and wellbeing. During the most recent COVID-19 pandemic, a balanced meal plan has had a significant impact on patient outcomes, namely through promoting healthy immune system function and in turn greater rates of post-discharge recovery and survival. With consuming a well-balanced diet becoming ever so more important, it is vital to explore the biochemical mechanisms and public health impacts that certain foods can have. This paper aims to thoroughly describe key molecules and pathways that promote a healthyfunctioning immune system, as well as connect this information to varying global public health outcomes.
