As director of the World Health Organization Center for Nutritional Immunology, a research professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and the director of immunology at the Janeway Child Health Center in St. John's (Canada), Dr. Chandra has established himself as one of the world's leading authorities on immunology and nutrition. In his book he explains how what we eat directly determines our ability to fight disease and shows how anyone's immune system, despite years of neglect and/or abuse, can be strengthened and protected. He offers practical advice about nutrition and exercise, separates the wishful thinking (and sheer quackery) from the scientific, and gives specific suggestions for achieving a healthier, longer, and more productive life. He also helps readers assess their own immune and nutritional status, then shows them how to design a personal prescription-including menus -- to boost immune function.
-- For the many people just turning 50 (the age when file immune system typically starts to decline), Dr. Chandra shows how immune systems can he strengthened for a longer, happier life.
