Abstract :

Seasonal influenza (flu) is an ongoing public health issue that raises the number of sick and dead individuals around the world, especially among young children, older people, and those with preexisting health problems. In addition to vaccination and medication, nutritional approaches that boost host immunity are easily accessible and reasonably priced. Vitamin C, flavonoids, pectin, carotenoids, and essential oils found in citrus fruits (such as orange, lemon, grapefruit, and tangerine) have antiviral, anti-inflammatory, prebiotic, and antioxidant properties. By improving leukocyte function, lowering oxidative stress, maintaining mucosal barrier function, and adjusting the gut–immune axis, these bio actives promote both innate and adaptive immunity. When encouraged by extension services, regular consumption of fresh citrus fruits or freshly made juices can lessen the intensity and duration of respiratory diseases and offer useful, community-level advantages.
