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.

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.

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 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 is a fun book with 187 tips that will help your immune system. Every tip has some extra information that is worth reading. Some of tips are exercise more, laugh more, play an instrument, play a sport, take a nap and a lot more. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

Much of this book will be common knowledge to most folks who are up to date with modern health advice, but I still really enjoyed the book. Each "hack" takes about a page and is a simple way to improve your immune system, generally with good science to back it. Some of them will be new to folks and a few of them may seem more "out there" but it's generally a great roundup. Some of the hacks are repeated in different ways. For instance, one hack is to stop breathing through your mouth and another is to breathe through your nose. While each had a page of info explaining the reasoning, those really should have been one hack IMO. I also would have liked references at the end, since the author frequently cites "studies that have shown...." but doesn't give any more information to back it up.

There were also quite a few hacks that I would have included that were not included. For instance, a ton of recent research has shown the importance of eating a wide variety of types of plants (herbs, fruits, veggies, etc.) each week (30 minimum, 50 for optimal benefits) for a huge range of benefits like supporting your gut microbiome, getting all of the trace nutrients you need, etc. I've seen that one mentioned in at least 5 health related books I've read this year but it wasn't mentioned here.

Even though I knew most of these, it was still a great reminder and it's written in such a concise, easy format that it really lends itself to adopting a few small, great changes at a time.

I read a digital ARC of this book for review.

This book was amazing, so interesting and so many fascinating things that I had no idea about. It’s definitely one to re-read regularly as well.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return 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

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.

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.
