Good compilation of what you can do to boost your immune system. However, this reads a lot like a primer, in the sense that it tells you to 'check this out' but doesn't say how, where - it's up to you now to go chase that idea and do your own research.
But as a quick check for what you could do, it does work, though I wouldn't call these hacks as half of them are just ideas that tell you 'why' but don't delve into the 'how' of it

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.

Some decent tips and things to think about to add to your routine or maybe the start of one. The tips I found not to be categorized in any noticable way.

Immune System Hacks is, interesting

Tis the season to worry about your health. Especially this year - and likely - for several years into the future as humanity grapples with the devastation and fallout of the Coronavirus - COVID 19.
Author Matt Farr's new book, Immune System Hacks, is a handy compilation of knowledge and advice about how to boost your immune system and give your body the best chance against invasion.
I read this book through the eyes of a former health and wellness magazine owner. My publication featured easy-to-understand and digest health-related tidbits aimed mainly toward living a healthy active lifestyle in Montana.
Even though I turned over ownership of this wonderful senior citizen-centric publication in 2018 when I left the state, my love for helpful health tips lives on today.
Farr provides several of those interesting factoids in Immune System Hacks. Listen to this:
The Whim Hoff Method, named after a Dutch extreme athlete whose claim to fame is extreme cold and breath-holding.
According to Farr, those disciplines coupled with yoga and meditation, reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep, and develop stronger mitochondria.
No thank you. Not for me. Montana winters when I am dressed properly are about my limit for extreme temperature plunges.
Then there is the suggestion that to strengthen your immune system, it's a good idea to drink EZ water.
Huh? That's interesting.
EZ water, discovered by Gerard Pollack and his research team in the early 2000s, is what Farr describes as the fourth phase of water. EZ water is said to be found in every cell, as well as several membranes in the human body. This EZ water carries a negative charge to balance out our human cell's positive charge. Somehow this conjunction of opposites creates energy within the cell, which then is used to power other biochemical processes.
All of these things, Pollack reports, support immune system health.
Or, here's an odd correlation:
Farr says we should be cautious of 5G, as in the Internet. Farr writes that there lies a huge difference between the inferior 4G and the new 5G technology: Higher frequency, higher intensity, and more cell towers to accommodate everything involved.
All these things have an effect on a person's reaction to environmental EMFs, or electromagnetic fields.
But along with these strange and interesting immune system hacks, Farr also presents a huge collection of no-brainer ideas.
He suggests losing weight, or at least body fat. Heavy people have a lowered immune system.
Dah. Isn't that what every health professional says? Lose weight, exercise, and sleep.
Farr says to let go of stress and distress.
Dah.
Or how about, to improve immune system health, a person should heal childhood trauma.
Well, I would think that every single one of us has some form of childhood trauma that likely varies greatly in severity.
And here’s the best one: Smile, it will and improve your immune health.
Altogether, these hacks are both interesting and kind of a waste of paper truthfully.
I admit, however, that I might have a particular life-long interest in topical health, and perhaps I know many of these things because I spent more than 50 years learning them. For the reader who is first starting out with the idea of self-health care, Immune System Hacks might be a great tabletop reference book. It's certainly a thorough collection and holds a lot of solid advice.
But, if you are a health junkie like I am, you might want to skim through it at the bookstore before you decide to buy.

For myself, I have always dealt with immune issues but it's only because of the disorder that I have. I decided to read this book to see if I'd learn anything new to try to make my immune system better. There were a few things in there that I could do but honestly I felt like a lot of the things in the book were easy to find on the web. I probably will not be purchasing this book for anyone else in my family and I just didn't find it was that helpful for myself. For those who may not deal with major health issues, this will be a good book to on hand.

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.

The book has a wife range of entries. It's topics include listening to music, boost your Glutathione levels, Uncover Genetic mutations. It gives you topics to see if you would like to research them further and build on them. I was looking for a little more science based but in the alternative health category this is a good find.

With 187 Immune System Hacks, it is like reading brief summaries of more than a season of the Dr. Oz show!

While some of the hacks are well known, many were new to me. Mushrooms have vitamin D? Who knew? I’ve also never heard of Ashwagandha or Propolis before. I’m sure everyone will find at least a few new ideas within Immune System Hacks. I would have liked a better organization system. Perhaps ordering the hacks by how they are delivered (as food, supplements, or user action). Overall, a good first look at many options to improve your immune system. 3 stars.

Thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for a copy in exchange 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

I really enjoyed Immune System Hacks: 175+ Ways to Boost Your Immunity, Protect Against Viruses and Disease, and Feel Your Very Best by Matt Farr. It's a quick reference guide to help improve your health and each hack gives a brief and interesting summary to help you better understand and implement it. It ranges from exercise daily, to smile more, to things I hadn't hear of like sound healing!

Matt Farr does a wonderful way explaining these hacks and making them accessible to understand. I would recommend this book and will definitely refer back to it often for immune system hacks and health!

I received this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

While folks who don't have compromised immune systems or haven't thought about boosting your immune system, these hacks might be of use. If you do know something about the immune system, you won't find anything startling here.

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.

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 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

Simple, useful collection of health hacks in small, digestible bits.

Awesome, easy to read collection of tips on strengthening the immune system. Each of the hack is covered in very little space, so I think it would have been best to read one or two of these a day instead of in larger chunks like I did. I enjoyed reading this book, but at the same time, I'm not going to lie - I skipped some parts and didn't read the hacks in order because so many of them seemed really elementary, like get more sleep, eat more fruits and vegetables or get some sunshine.

I do recommend this book to everyone wishing to protect their health in a more meaningful way - however, it's meant for beginners rather than people already invested in health.

In addition, I HIGHLY recommend reading just one or two tips per day in order for these to actually stick with you.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

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 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 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.

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.
