THE IMMUNE ADVANTAGE: The Powerful Natural Immune-Boosting Program to Help You Prevent Disease, Enhance Vitality, and Live a Longer, Healthier Life Ellen Mazo and the Editors of Prevention Health Books, with Keith Berndtson

Arguing that enhancing the body's immune system is crucial to solid and lasting health, Mazo et al. offer the MaxImmunity Plan, focusing on the Six-Facet Vitality Diamond. The hyped-up language couches basic, sound advice: eat well, take vitamins, exercise, manage stress, think positively and "listen" to your body. Lots of specific information—about autoimmune disorders, foods to consume or avoid and environmental hazards—makes this a good reference for those who wish to pursue better health actively and proactively.
