NIDs (Nutritional Immunodeficiency Disorders)

Nutritional Immunodeficiency Disorders (NIDs) occur when poor nutrition weakens the immune system, making the body more vulnerable to infections. Essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats support immune functions, including the production of immune cells and antibodies. Without adequate nutrition, these processes are impaired, leading to increased illness risk and slower recovery. NIDs often develop from inadequate diets, malabsorption, or certain medical conditions, highlighting the importance of balanced nutrition in maintaining robust immunity and overall health.
