Bescherm jezelf
Feiten en fabels over je immuunsysteemHelpt versgeperst sinaasappelsap tegen verkoudheid? Is viezigheid goed voor de afweer van kinderen? Zijn zuiveldrankjes met probiotica goed voor je afweersysteem? We worden van alle kanten bestookt met beweringen over ons immuunsysteem en met middelen om het een ‘boost’ te geven, maar kan dat wel? En is dat wenselijk? Over één ding is de wetenschap duidelijk: ieders immuunsysteem is volledig uniek – wat goed werkt voor de één, werkt niet per se goed voor de ander. Is er, gezien de enorme complexiteit van ons immuunsysteem, iets dat we kunnen doen om het te verbeteren? En hoe maken we onderscheid tussen valse claims en nuttig advies? Immunoloog Daniel M. Davis onderzoekt de effecten van stress, voeding, leeftijd, lichaamsbeweging, het microbioom en andere factoren op het immuunsysteem. Hij ontkracht de belangrijkste mythes, scheidt feiten van fabels en stelt ons in staat om weloverwogen keuzes te maken. Daniel M. Davis is hoofd Biowetenschappen en hoogleraar Immunologie aan het Imperial College in Londen. Eerder verscheen van hem bij Nieuwezijds Immuun, dat in het VK werd verkozen tot Book of the Year in The Times, Telegraph en New Scientist. Davis heeft talloze onderzoekspapers gepubliceerd en is Fellow van de Academy of Medical Sciences. ‘Buitengewoon boeiend. Bijna elke alinea bevat een openbaring.’ – Bill Bryson ‘Dit boek wijst de lezer de weg in de golf aan pseudowetenschap die het denken over onze gezondheid vertroebelt.’ – Brian Cox ‘Een uitstekende en deskundige gids om ons door het mijnenveld van theorieën en speculaties te loodsen.’ – Marcus du Sautoy ‘In een wereld vol verkooppraatjes, soundbites en filmpjes op sociale media is wetenschappelijke nauwkeurigheid, duidelijkheid en nuance hard nodig. Bescherm jezelf biedt precies dat.’ – Guy Leschziner

Self-Defense
"Utterly absorbing. Nearly every paragraph brings a revelation."--Bill Bryson - "Wise, and beautifully written. . . . It will change the way you think about your body and live your life."--Chris van Tulleken - "This great book from a world expert offers practical tips and dispels many myths."--Tim Spector A world-renowned scientist offers a much-needed analysis of what it takes to have good immune health--helping readers navigate what can really help, what is a complete myth, and why. Does orange juice help ward off colds? And how does our age affect our ability to recover from one? When it comes to immunity, are we really what we eat? Or how much we eat? We are surrounded by big questions and big claims about enhancing our immune systems, so how do we tell the fiction from the facts? And, ultimately, what can we do to reduce our chances of getting sick? World-leading immunologist Daniel M. Davis offers answers in this authoritative, highly accessible, myth-busting guide to the effects of stress, age, exercise, weight, nutrition, sleep, vaccines, and mental health on our immune health. Taking us to the cutting edge of immunology research and explaining both what we know and how we know it, Self-Defense helps readers spot phony claims and make informed choices. Davis shows us that everyone's immune system is entirely unique, and that's why we should be wary of one-size-fits-all "cures." We learn how exercise, for example, has all sorts of different, even opposing, short- and long-term effects on our immune health. And while our gut microbes are vitally important, it's unlikely that yogurt drinks can really boost your immune system to stop you getting ill. An eye-opening window into some of the astonishing possibilities for the future, when it comes to distinguishing bogus and beneficial health claims about everything from vitamin D to inflammation and cancer therapies, Davis's book may be your best self-defense.

The Secret Body
'A perfect blend of cutting-edge science and compelling storytelling. Daniel Davis has a rare knack for making complex science comprehensible and thrilling' BILL BRYSONWelcome to a revolution in the science of you. Recent and dramatic breakthroughs in our understanding of the body will profoundly change the experience of being human in the coming century. Already they are opening up boundary-breaking possibilities for intervention at every level, from our brains and genes to our microbiomes and immune systems. These will confer unprecedented powers over health, childhood development, our cognitive and physical abilities, and affect every aspect of how we live our lives and think about ourselves. As the secrets of our bodies are revealed, we all will face previously unthinkable choices with consequences we have yet to understand. Imagine knowing years in advance the precise likelihood of developing specific cancers, thanks to a bespoke understanding of every cell in your body; following a diet and health regime tailored to your microbiome; continuous monitoring of your body's workings and well-being; taking drugs that improve your cognition and help to acquire new skills; manipulating the genes of your unborn children to eliminate disease or even enhance their capabilities. Written by an award-winning scientist at the forefront of this work, The Secret Body shows how these radical and disconcerting possibilities have been made real thanks to the ingenious technologies and decades-long collaborations of scientists worldwide. A gripping drama of discovery and a landmark account of this dawning revolution, it presents a vision of the human body of dizzying complexity, wonder and possibility. 'A beautifully rendered picture of the startling new discoveries in human biology which are radically altering our understanding of how we function and what our future holds' BRIAN COX'An extraordinary journey that reveals the magnificence, intricacy and beauty of the human body, fundamentally changing the way we see ourselves. Masterful' ALICE ROBERTS
