The current literature suggests a link between zinc deficiency and the development of allergies, and shows positive effects of zinc supplementation on modulating the immune system and reducing allergic symptoms, which are discussed in more detail in this review.

Current evidence from experimental and clinical studies confirming that various polyphenols could attenuate allergic inflammation, alleviate the symptoms of food allergy, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, and prevent the development of allergic immune response is reviewed.

The existing evidence that different polyphenols, such as catechins, resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and others, can reduce allergic inflammation, relieve symptoms of food allergy, asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, and prevent the progression of the allergic immune response is examined.

This review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the impact of dietary factors on AD, examining the link between food allergies and AD, exploring the gut-skin axis, and reviewing dietary recommendations for AD management.

The role of breast milk, maternal diet, maternal antibodies, and microbiota that have been suggested as key maternal factors regulating offspring allergies are discussed here and are suggested to be future research area to expand the knowledge of maternal-offspring interactions on the pathogenesis of food allergy.

There is a positive association between the E-DII score and AR and the consumption of diets abundant in anti-inflammatory nutrients and low in pro-inflammatory nutrient contents is recommended as a preventative strategy against AR.

This first large-scale study suggests that fast food and soda drinks consumption are potentially associated with current asthma, with stronger associations observed in females than males, underscoring the need for sex-specific allergy prevention programs.

Detox diets, including intermittent fasting, ketogenic, Paleo, vegetarian, vegetarian, Mediterranean, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), and Whole30 are evaluated, highlighting their benefits and limitations.

Interventions with probiotics, prebiotics, and/or synbiotics seem promising for the development of a preventive therapy by restoring altered microbiome functionality, or as an adjuvant in specific immunotherapy.

Recent evidence is discussed that highlights the role of diet as a key factor influencing immune homeostasis and the development of allergic diseases through a complex interplay between nutrients, their metabolites and immune cell populations.

The anti-inflammatory role of flavonoids, fatty acids, vitamins and microbiota, important for the control of chronic inflammatory diseases and allergies, are shown, in addition to the antiviral role of vitamins, flavonoid, and minerals during pulmonary viral infections, addressing the mechanisms involved in each function.

It is emphasized that a healthy, varied diet containing dairy products, fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables as well as supplementing foods or supplementation with micronutrients as needed is essential to combat the atopic march.

Examination of the current literature on the associations between dietary factors and asthma risk and control in children and adults is examined to identify the potential use of nutritional therapy in the prevention and management of asthma.

Up-to-date knowledge and the clinical relevance of the influence of dietary FAs on the biology, homeostasis, and functions of epithelial cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, innate lymphoid cells, T cells and B cells are discussed.

While exposures, interventions, and outcomes were too heterogeneous for meta‐analysis, there is significant potential for using fiber in targeted manipulations of the gut microbiome and its metabolic functions in promoting immune health.
