Abstract

Immune function improvement is frequently observed after initiating a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD). There are many mechanistic explanations that explain this phenomenom. Additionally, there are data supporting anti-inflammatory mechanisms that could make any symptoms associated with acute infectious illness less severe. Chronic illness is characterized by elevated inflammatory markers and dyslipidemia which improve after treatment. This article will discuss the various data available regarding LCDs and immune function.
