Self Defence: A Myth-busting Guide to Immune Health

21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS

Description

Can orange juice really ward off the common cold? How does age affect our immune system and is mental health really connected to inflammation? We’re surrounded by bold claims and quick fixes for ‘boosting’ our immune system. But one thing the science is certain of, is that everyone’s immune system is just as unique as they are. What’s good for one person may not work for another.

So how do we separate bogus claims from useful advice? And given its sheer complexity, is there anything we can do to truly improve our immune system? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis helps us unpick the complex science behind the stories with some of the very latest research findings from his lab at Imperial College London.
