Abstract

Although the concept of immunonutrition as a subject area and its use (Calder & Kew, 2002) is a relatively recent one, Hippocrates recognized a linkage between nutrition and good health in the following: “If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment, and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” Many have documented the specific connection between nutrition host resistance and immunity (Field, 2000; Field, Johnson, & Schley, 2002).
