Malnutrition and Allergies: Tipping the Immune Balance towards Health

The review explores the link between malnutrition and allergies, focusing on how deficiencies in proteins and micronutrients like iron and vitamin A can lead to inflammation and allergic sensitization. Malnutrition is common in individuals with allergic conditions and can exacerbate type 2 inflammation, impairing nutrient absorption and immune balance. The document emphasizes the role of adequate nutrition in preventing and managing allergies, highlighting that iron and vitamin A deficiencies can alter immune responses and increase allergy risks. Interventions such as micronutrient supplementation can mitigate these effects, underscoring the need for nutritional education and dietary strategies to improve immune health and manage allergic diseases effectively.
