“…Similarly, lactoferrin (LF) and casenoglycopeptides (CGP) derived from K‐casein have been proven to improve lymphocyte function. In vitro experiments have shown that peptides generated from the enzymatic cleavage of α and β‐casein can also improve human lymphocyte activity (Ha et al, 2021 ; Marcone et al, 2017 ; Xue et al, 2023 ).…”

We are frequently exposed to potentially harmful microbes of various types on a daily basis. Our immune system is an amazing collection of unique organs and cells that defends us from hazardous germs as well as certain diseases. It plays a crucial role in protecting the body against external invaders, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Maintaining a healthy immune system requires consuming a balanced diet that provides a variety of macro‐ and micronutrients. By consuming sufficient amounts of water, minerals such as zinc and magnesium, micronutrients, herbs, and foods rich in vitamins C, D, and E, and adopting a healthy lifestyle, one can enhance their health and immunity, and prevent infections. This article provides a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on common foods known for their potential to boost human immunity. The review begins by discussing the various components of the immune system and their functions. It then delves into the current understanding of how nutrition can influence immune response, highlighting the importance of a well‐balanced diet in supporting optimal immune function. The article presents an extensive analysis of a range of common foods that have been studied for their immune‐boosting properties. These foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and animal‐based foods. Each food category is explored in terms of its specific nutrients and bioactive compounds that contribute to immune support. Foods such as milk, eggs, fruits, leafy greens, and spices like onion, garlic, and turmeric contain beneficial compounds that can enhance the immune system's function, activate and inhibit immune cells, and interfere with multiple pathways that eventually lead to improved immune responses and defense. The available literature on the issue was accessed via online resources and evaluated thoroughly as a methodology for preparing this manuscript.
