Synopsis
'Brilliant. Will change the way you think about your body and live your life' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN
'A world expert offers practical tips and dispels many myths' TIM SPECTOR
'Illuminating ... fascinating' DAILY MAIL ** BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025 **
We are surrounded by bold claims and quick fixes for improving our immune systems. In this expert guide, leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis sorts the fact from fiction.
- Is it true that orange juice can help ward off colds?
- How does age affect our immune system?
- Is mental health really connected to inflammation?
How do we separate the bogus claims from the useful advice? And given its sheer complexity, is there anything we can do to improve our immune system?
World-renowned immunologist Daniel M. Davis examines the effects of stress, diet, age, exercise, the microbiome and more on the immune system, punctures the key myths, and equips us to make informed choices for ourselves.
'The best book on immune health I have ever read' ALICE ROBERTS
'Utterly absorbing. Nearly every paragraph brings a revelation' BILL BRYSON
'Essential reading for anybody who wants to understand their health' RUSSELL FOSTER
'Empowers readers to make informed choices about their health' RHIANNON LAMBERT
'If you've ever been tempted to take steps to boost your immunity, read this first!' SARAH GILBERT
'Beautifully written ... guides readers through the blizzard of popular science and pseudoscience that obscures discussions about our health' BRIAN COX
