                                According to a study published in the *Journal of Nutrition*, protein-energy malnutrition dramatically increases susceptibility to viral infections like influenza. This critical nutrient is not just for building muscle; understanding its role is essential for supporting a robust immune response and accelerating recovery when fighting off a viral infection.
