Diet and Optimum Health Conference
Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State University
Session 3: November 4, 2021
Dietary Factors for a Healthy Immune System
For centuries, there has been a clear relationship between dietary inadequacies and a dysfunctional immune system. However, the ways that individual dietary components – or combinations or dietary factors – contribute to these effects is still poorly understood. Also, is there enough evidence to support roles of dietary factors in strengthening the immune system beyond resolving dietary inadequacies?
In this timely session, we review our understanding of dietary factors and immune function. Here we explore the benefits – and the limitations – of micronutrients, natural products, and other components of the diet, addressing questions that are applicable to inflammation, viral infections, and beyond.
As we are in the midst of celebrating our 25th year of the Linus Pauling Institute coming to Oregon State University, the Institute is making this webinar series free to all registrants.
