Good compilation of what you can do to boost your immune system. However, this reads a lot like a primer, in the sense that it tells you to 'check this out' but doesn't say how, where - it's up to you now to go chase that idea and do your own research.
But as a quick check for what you could do, it does work, though I wouldn't call these hacks as half of them are just ideas that tell you 'why' but don't delve into the 'how' of it

Well written summary of how lay people can improve and support their immune system to optimise health. There are a range of simple hacks or changes to lifestyle which can improve overall health.

Some decent tips and things to think about to add to your routine or maybe the start of one. The tips I found not to be categorized in any noticable way.

Immune System Hacks is, interesting

Tis the season to worry about your health. Especially this year - and likely - for several years into the future as humanity grapples with the devastation and fallout of the Coronavirus - COVID 19.
Author Matt Farr's new book, Immune System Hacks, is a handy compilation of knowledge and advice about how to boost your immune system and give your body the best chance against invasion.
I read this book through the eyes of a former health and wellness magazine owner. My publication featured easy-to-understand and digest health-related tidbits aimed mainly toward living a healthy active lifestyle in Montana.
Even though I turned over ownership of this wonderful senior citizen-centric publication in 2018 when I left the state, my love for helpful health tips lives on today.
Farr provides several of those interesting factoids in Immune System Hacks. Listen to this:
The Whim Hoff Method, named after a Dutch extreme athlete whose claim to fame is extreme cold and breath-holding.
According to Farr, those disciplines coupled with yoga and meditation, reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep, and develop stronger mitochondria.
No thank you. Not for me. Montana winters when I am dressed properly are about my limit for extreme temperature plunges.
Then there is the suggestion that to strengthen your immune system, it's a good idea to drink EZ water.
Huh? That's interesting.
EZ water, discovered by Gerard Pollack and his research team in the early 2000s, is what Farr describes as the fourth phase of water. EZ water is said to be found in every cell, as well as several membranes in the human body. This EZ water carries a negative charge to balance out our human cell's positive charge. Somehow this conjunction of opposites creates energy within the cell, which then is used to power other biochemical processes.
All of these things, Pollack reports, support immune system health.
Or, here's an odd correlation:
Farr says we should be cautious of 5G, as in the Internet. Farr writes that there lies a huge difference between the inferior 4G and the new 5G technology: Higher frequency, higher intensity, and more cell towers to accommodate everything involved.
All these things have an effect on a person's reaction to environmental EMFs, or electromagnetic fields.
But along with these strange and interesting immune system hacks, Farr also presents a huge collection of no-brainer ideas.
He suggests losing weight, or at least body fat. Heavy people have a lowered immune system.
Dah. Isn't that what every health professional says? Lose weight, exercise, and sleep.
Farr says to let go of stress and distress.
Dah.
Or how about, to improve immune system health, a person should heal childhood trauma.
Well, I would think that every single one of us has some form of childhood trauma that likely varies greatly in severity.
And here’s the best one: Smile, it will and improve your immune health.
Altogether, these hacks are both interesting and kind of a waste of paper truthfully.
I admit, however, that I might have a particular life-long interest in topical health, and perhaps I know many of these things because I spent more than 50 years learning them. For the reader who is first starting out with the idea of self-health care, Immune System Hacks might be a great tabletop reference book. It's certainly a thorough collection and holds a lot of solid advice.
But, if you are a health junkie like I am, you might want to skim through it at the bookstore before you decide to buy.

Immune System Hacks is a very informative and accurate book. I've been on a healing journey for a couple years and in my research I have come across many suggestions for improving your immune system. Many of these plus way more were covered in the book. I love how it warns which hacks to be careful of if you have autoimmune disorders. I have personally implemented some of the hacks and have seen improvements in my immune system. I will be purchasing copies of this book to give as gifts. These hacks are not just good for your immune system. They will improve your overall health and wellness, including your mental health!!!

A very informative book giving some fabulous hacks to building an amazing immune system. I was very pleased to know I was doing many of them and learned the reasons as to why I was, other than it being something I had grown up knowing worked.

I enjoyed the more spiritual immune hacks as these sit well within my lifestyle and it was great to see them written in Matt's book.

Very well written and an easy read that could also be used as a reference to different health issues.

I am a wife, mother of three, and have a very demanding full time job. So like many who play those roles, I often find myself stressed out and suffer insomnia. When Matt reached out to ask if I was interested in reading this book, I immediately took him up on it! It was a very easy read, and more importantly he gave me so many ideas to add to my overall life objective! A few years ago I worked with a mentor to develop a personal objective and I used four different quadrants of social, spiritual, intellectual, and physical goals. So many of these 175+ ideas I will be adding into my personal development plan! And I’m anxiously hoping my sleep pattern will turn into something more restful!

Matt Farr's Immune System Hacks is a great read for anyone looking to buff their immune system from a holistic approach. Farr offers obvious tips such as increasing exercise, eating high fiber foods, and curbing smoking and drinking habits. However, it never occurred to me that simple changes such as smiling more, hugging loved ones, and even embracing a purpose-driven life can all contribute to improving your overall health and immune system. If you are looking for ways to improve your overall well being from unique perspectives you may not have previously considered, I would recommend this book and apply its tips to your life.

As a Nutritionist, reading this book was just a pleasure because it gives me very condensate knowledge, the simple tips which I could forget along my learning process, and different views on some of 'the things' we all know :) But don't think it is not up to date with recent science! It is indeed.
The most important fact is that the book is easy to read for everyone. Because we all want the best for people around us Its not always that simple to recommend a book that can give someone practical insights, tips that can be implemented straight away, not diving deep into the subject if you don't have to, and here we have 'Immune System Hacks' which I can pass along to everyone.

Great book - a reference book to keep - loads of ways to improve your health and very informative, I will read again and again.

Concise, very easy to read and understand. I have a considerable insight about the topic, however still I found some very useful information that were new to me. There are some repetition in the hacks but it does not affect the flow of reading it. Very enjoyable and a good go-to when looking to have a holistic approach boosting/maintaining our immune.
Thanks for the ooportunity to read it and give you my honest review. Well done!

Having read over 175 different hacks for the immune system, the book is packed with useful, informative advice in an engaging reading style that makes you want to research further and fosters curiosity.
As someone who experiences depression and PTSD from trauma it was particularly interesting how I can start with simple things like practicing self care, getting out in nature and suggestions for meditation and calming the nervous system down. I like the way the book is layed out into different sections so you can easily pick and choose different sections to read and focus on instead of reading all the book from cover to cover. I would definitely recommend this book and style for a start to improve health and wellbeing in a holistic way especially in with such a difficult year that 2020 has been.

For myself, I have always dealt with immune issues but it's only because of the disorder that I have. I decided to read this book to see if I'd learn anything new to try to make my immune system better. There were a few things in there that I could do but honestly I felt like a lot of the things in the book were easy to find on the web. I probably will not be purchasing this book for anyone else in my family and I just didn't find it was that helpful for myself. For those who may not deal with major health issues, this will be a good book to on hand.

Great collection of immune system hacks and health tips. There are plenty to choose from to work with and after completing the book, I’ll be going back and picking out ones to develop and build on.

Each hack is handled concisely in a page or so with enough detail to demonstrate the author’s knowledge of the topics and show how they can be implemented. It will take a bit of work and planning but implementing these changes will have a personal beneficial impact.

Immune system hacks is over a hundred pages of tips to help and support immune health. People who are autoimmune compromised or overly sick may want to try these items slowly and not overwhelm themselves. I found a lot of these hacks to be a regular habit for myself and I agree with most of them.

What did I like? Ideally for people who would like to boost immune system and health. Easy to do and most of them require knowledge and not money which is really great. A great gift for a healthy conscious person, and you can flip through to find something you may just want to try. A unique book with over a hundred ideas. I would recommend and would buy a copy. Self help is important. Kudos to the author for supporting others wellness.

I received an ARC to read and voluntarily left a review.

The book has a wife range of entries. It's topics include listening to music, boost your Glutathione levels, Uncover Genetic mutations. It gives you topics to see if you would like to research them further and build on them. I was looking for a little more science based but in the alternative health category this is a good find.

With 187 Immune System Hacks, it is like reading brief summaries of more than a season of the Dr. Oz show!

While some of the hacks are well known, many were new to me. Mushrooms have vitamin D? Who knew? I’ve also never heard of Ashwagandha or Propolis before. I’m sure everyone will find at least a few new ideas within Immune System Hacks. I would have liked a better organization system. Perhaps ordering the hacks by how they are delivered (as food, supplements, or user action). Overall, a good first look at many options to improve your immune system. 3 stars.

Thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

Huge thanks to the publisher for my copy. I totally enjoyed this book and the hacks it has. If you are looking for hacks that are good for you and easy to grasp . I am now a cold water advocate y'all so highly recommend it to anyone that may want to take care of their immunity

A good book to read to be reminded and/or learn about hacks to improve your immune system. It is extensive and takes a holistic approach by providing hacks for the body, the mind as well as the spirit. There are multiple hacks for everyone regardless of personality, gender, age or anything else. It is easy to read and concise, a good source if you want to look up a hack or two.

There are repetitions throughout the book which makes the book longer than necessary. For most of the hacks, you need to do additional reading and research to learn how to benefit from the hacks. But it’s still a book worth reading cover to cover at least once.

I really enjoyed Immune System Hacks: 175+ Ways to Boost Your Immunity, Protect Against Viruses and Disease, and Feel Your Very Best by Matt Farr. It's a quick reference guide to help improve your health and each hack gives a brief and interesting summary to help you better understand and implement it. It ranges from exercise daily, to smile more, to things I hadn't hear of like sound healing!

Matt Farr does a wonderful way explaining these hacks and making them accessible to understand. I would recommend this book and will definitely refer back to it often for immune system hacks and health!

I received this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
