Immunonutrition: Interactions of Diet, Genetics, and Inflammation

By Bharat B. Aggarwal and David Heber

The interaction of immune function and nutrition underlies the low-grade chronic inflammation involved in the etiology of many common obesity-associated and age-related chronic disease conditions. This book introduces the breadth of the new field of immunonutrition, which implicates nutrition in both immune function and in the etiology, prevention, and treatment of common diseases influenced by inflammation and immune imbalance, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and common forms of cancer. The book addresses the basic mechanisms of immunity, immunonutrition-related diseases, and potential nutrition-based treatments.
