Simple, useful collection of health hacks in small, digestible bits.

Awesome, easy to read collection of tips on strengthening the immune system. Each of the hack is covered in very little space, so I think it would have been best to read one or two of these a day instead of in larger chunks like I did. I enjoyed reading this book, but at the same time, I'm not going to lie - I skipped some parts and didn't read the hacks in order because so many of them seemed really elementary, like get more sleep, eat more fruits and vegetables or get some sunshine.

I do recommend this book to everyone wishing to protect their health in a more meaningful way - however, it's meant for beginners rather than people already invested in health.

In addition, I HIGHLY recommend reading just one or two tips per day in order for these to actually stick with you.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Immune system hacks is an excellent book on the immune system. There are more than 175 hacks or tips you can follow to strengthen your immune system. Lately, we are more and more aware that a strong immune system is very important.

Easy to read and follow as these hacks are numbered and titled, so you can read in-depth just those that are interesting and you don't know. There are some tips included that I knew, but there are a lot of them I didn't hear of before or didn't know the details.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

This book is fantastic! I really enjoyed reading it! It has different "hacks" listed 1-175 in an easy to read format. It covers each concept pretty concisely, but also with enough information to utilize them. He recommends looking up extra information on certain hacks online and that could be done for any of them, but I think he did a great job of culling through and including the most important information. I have researched a lot in health and biology so most of this book was review for me, however, I think that many people would find most of the information to be new. Despite already knowing most of it, I still really enjoyed the refresher and I loved the format and simplicity of it. It could be read quickly or you could choose to read a few different hacks at a time and try to utilize those or savor the knowledge learned. Since the hacks are only a page or two, the reader has a lot of flexibility in how they read it. Everything is written in a very simplistic and easy to read manner, so the reader need not worry if they don't understand or enjoy science/medical- talk as it is not in this book. Instead, it is written very conversationally and should appeal to a wide audience. This book is a wonderful reminder of how to keep the immune system strong as winter quickly approaches and I definitely recommend it!

Immune System hacks by Matt Farr is a nice book if you have no idea how to boost and maintain your immune system. For those of us that already have some knowledge of this, most of the ”hacks “ are things you probably already know. I can’t say there was anything that I hadn’t really heard of before, but it’s also nice to have all the ideas in one book. I liked that he had suggestions of ways to get vitamins through diet and appreciated that he gave the suggested dosing for these as well. I’m not sure how accurate they are, but I’m sure it was researched.
I think this is a good book if you are looking to learn how to increase your immune function and have no clue where to begin.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams media for the opportunity to read this book.

I read this with astonishment that the author knew so much about the immune system, and it is timely, in the pandemic, and in general. Who would have known that the best time to go out in the sun was noon, for UVB rays to work best on your immune system? I certainly would not have known, and that is just an example. The book is crammed with information, and I doubt I will be able to take it all in, on a first reading, so I will probably come back to it as a referencr book.
