The War Against Viruses
How The Science of Optimal Nutrition Can Help You Win the Battle
by Aileen Burford-Mason
Description
When operating efficiently, the immune system represents biological teamwork at its best – a symphony of protective cells and bio-molecules acting together to rapidly recognize potentially harmful microbes and eliminate them. But the orchestration of this complex system depends on a continuous and ample supply of essential nutrients – vitamins, minerals, essential fats and other nutrients
A growing body of research shows that the nutritional content of our food has sharply declined over the course of the last century. As the use of high yield industrial farming practices has increased, so the nutritional content has decreased.
The War Against Viruses shows how without a rounded intake of essential nutrients our immune response may be compromised. It provides advice on how to recognize gaps in our nutritional arsenal. It offers a personal supplement regime that can overcome potential dietary shortfalls, strengthening immune response to infection and helping reduce the potential for lethal illness.
