Immunity is the set of mechanisms that the organism develops to defend itself against disease agents. The interaction between immunity and nutrition is highly complex. Many macro/micro nutrients and bioactive components play a key role at every stage of the immune response. As a result of the studies, many nutrients that affect the immune response, such as amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals have been identified. The effect of dietary patterns on immunity may be at the level of innate and adaptive immune system, mucosa, and microbiome. As a result of inadequate and unbalanced nutrition, the entry of infectious agents into the body becomes easier and immune mechanisms that develop in response to disease agents are interrupted. Popular diets, which have become common due to various health problems, especially obesity, and aesthetic concerns are discussed in terms of their health effects. In particular, the association of popular diets such as mediterranean diet and intermittent fasting with immunity has been the subject of many studies. However, there is no article in the literature reviewing the effects of different popular diet types on immune function. Studies have mostly focused on the association between dietary supplements and immunity. In this study, the effects of popular diet types such as ketogenic diet, vegetarianism/veganism, gluten-free diet, mediterranean diet, intermittent fasting, and detoxification diets on immune function were reviewed in the light of current literature.
