History of the immune system. Arvay K.

Clemens Arvay in his book traces the fascinating evolutionary history of our immune system and clearly demonstrates how much the health of the body depends on the state of the environment. Its message comes down to the following: in order to maintain health in the long run, we must change the paradigm of our thinking in the direction of ecosimunology.

This young science studies the influence of environmental factors, nutrition and lifestyle on the disease and their course. So, for example, we learn why people are especially susceptible to infections in certain life situations, why vaccinations are not always effective and why tiny creatures in the intestine play an important role in our protective functions.

Only knowing the past of their immune system , we can understand what she needs to stay healthy in the future.
