Malnutrition may be due to undernutrition and/or overnutrition and is responsible for morbidity and mortality. Fulfilling nutrition requirements of all human age groups is necessary for maintenance of health and quality of life. Nutritional supplements, or daily diet, must include a sufficient amount of macronutrient (carbohydrate, protein, and fat), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and nonessential dietary components such as fiber. There is a bidirectional relationship that exists between nutrition, infection, and immunity; children are dying due to malnutrition that weakens their immunity and makes them more susceptible to pathogen attack. Culinary and herbal resources containing macro- and micronutrients are required to achieve nutritional deficiencies. In this review, we have documented different culinary herbs that have been used as prime herbal nutritional source and these herbs might be helpful in malnutrition and boosting immunity. The review contains the description of nutritional levels and their distribution to different age group people. This review gives insight to herbal products that boost immunity to fight against infections by restoring micronutrients.

烹饪和草药资源作为营养补充品，可解决与营养不良相关的免疫缺陷：素食者评论

营养不良可能是由于营养不足和/或营养过剩所致，并且是发病率和死亡率的原因。满足所有年龄段的营养要求对于维持健康和生活质量是必要的。营养补充剂或日常饮食必须包含足够量的大量营养素（碳水化合物，蛋白质和脂肪），微量营养素（维生素和矿物质）以及非必需的饮食成分（例如纤维）。营养，感染和免疫力之间存在双向关系。儿童由于营养不良而垂死，营养不良削弱了他们的免疫力，使他们更容易受到病原体的攻击。要实现营养缺乏，就需要含有大量和微量营养素的烹饪和草药资源。在这篇评论中 我们已经记录了不同的烹饪草药，这些烹饪草药已被用作主要的草药营养来源，这些草药可能有助于营养不良和增强免疫力。该评价包含营养水平及其在不同年龄段人群中的分布的描述。这篇评论为草药产品提供了见识，这些草药产品通过恢复微量营养素来增强抵抗感染的免疫力。
