Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi; the diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. The relationship between the immune system and the onset of infectious disease is a multifaceted correlation. From eating good nutrition to avoid food poisoning risk to eating immune boosting foods and nutrients to minimize severity of infections, and ensuring future prevention, nutrition plays an important role.

Furthermore, malnutrition and over nutrition are also contributing factors to the onset, and severity of infectious disease.

While all the above mentioned aspects of infections hold importance, strengthening of the immune system appears to be the most effective and reliable method to enable the body to fights its own fights, using nutrient instead of drugs. T effect of diet on the development of human immune system begins from the embryonic stage. If during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy, the mother receives enough protein, vitamins, and minerals, the embryonic tissues will develop very well. If a fetus develops sufficiently, it will have normal weight and size. The normal weight of the fetus is an important criterion for his/her health. Fetal malnutrition has unfavorable effects on the development of immune system. If the immune system does not efficiently develop in this period, it cannot defend against pathogens in the future.

After birth, breast milk provides sufficient vitamins and minerals to a baby that can guarantee the baby’s growth and health. Breastfeeding is the second-most important step to develop a vigorous immune system. A malnourished baby who does not receive enough protein and vitamins is prone to infectious diseases and does not respond well to vaccines. Therefore, nutrition is critical to provide high immunity in humans against environmental pathogens. Similarly in adults, the proper intake of vitamins and minerals ensures that the immune system is equipped with its fighting arsenal in case an foreign pathogen attacks the body.

Our approach to fighting infectious diseases is simple. Empower the body the defend itself. When the body is defended, when biochemical deficiencies are fulfilled and our diet is balanced and lifestyle is healthy, we feel confident that the human body will win the fight against bacteria, viruses and other pathogens.

Infectious dis eases are the leading cause of death in children worldwide. The world health organization holds malnutrition, macro and micro-nutrient deficiencies accountable for a major chunk of these infection induced deaths in children. We believe that while antibiotics are, at times essential after the onset of disease, they are not the best way to go. Empowering the body with nutrients facilitating the immune system against its fight, is a better, and a long term solution to Infection Disease
