Must-have in everyone's library. This book takes you on a little journey of how the Immune system works and then tells you all about how to keep it 'fighting fit'. Easy to understand.

Imunitatea înseamnă rezistența organismului față de agenți patogeni. Autorul explică din ce e format sistemul imunitar și cum funcționează acesta. Alimentația joacă un rol primordial. Am aflat informații despre alergii, infecții virale și cele bacteriene. Cartea ne pune la dispoziție alimentele, vitaminele și mineralele, plantele care întăresc sistemul imunitar. Găsim remedii naturale pentru răceală, gripă și infecții sinusale, candidoza, precum și gestionarea bolilor autoimune. Exercițiile fizice, somnul bun și gândirea pozitivă la fel sunt importante. Autorul abordează subiectul antibioticelor și a vaccinurilor. Limbajul este simplu și ușor de înțeles. Aproape toate remediile propuse sunt ușor de obținut, prin alimentație sau suplimente.

Great entry level read. Digestible information regarding how our body works, how the immune system is set up and what parts it consists of. It describes what elements and nutritions you'll need and what is their effect on the body.

That was a very good one. Full of interesting and useful information. Of course it won't heal your flu or cold but it has nice tips to prevent that. Unfortunately I realise that I have a really bad eating habits. Kudos for the translator as he or she makes if really easy to read.
