Summary: life-enhancing words of wisdom
Review: "The Immune Advantage" should be required reading for anyone embarking on a diet or lifestyle change. The information is presented in an easily readable, conversational format and stresses commonsense knowledge we often ignore in our fast-paced world: good foods are often the simplest foods; sleep heals; exercise sharpens not only our bodies but our brains.
Ellen Mazo's information is solidly researched and well organized. And the recipes are a major plus!

Summary: Loved it!
Review: Great format, great info, very readable. I've been doing my own personal health research for a year or two now, and this book seems to incorporate the best of everything I've come across. It gives equal weight to diet, exercise, complementary/alternative medicine, stress reduction, etc. It even has a section of recipes. This will be a book I refer back to for many years to come.
