                                According to the World Health Organization, undernutrition is the leading risk factor for developing active tuberculosis (TB). While no specific food triggers tuberculosis directly, certain dietary patterns and food types can weaken the immune system and increase a person's susceptibility to the disease or complicate treatment. Understanding which foods to limit is crucial for managing this condition.
