Abstract in brief

Adequate intake of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, selenium, vitamins A, D, E, C, B6, B12, and folic acid is crucial for supporting and regulating the immune system, with each nutrient playing specific roles in immune cell function and response.
Deficiencies in key micronutrients like iron and zinc can impair immune responses, particularly affecting T lymphocyte development and function, while selenium influences cellular immunity and resistance to viral infections.
A balanced diet, including nutrient-rich foods and sufficient sunlight exposure, is essential for maintaining optimal levels of these micronutrients to promote effective immune defense mechanisms.]
