Immune: A Journey Into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive - inglês- 368 páginas

"Through wonderful analogies and a genius for clarifying complex ideas, Immune is a truly brilliant introduction to the human body's vast system for fighting infections and other threats."--John Green, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fault in Our StarsVeja !!!100 Receitas sem Glúten!: Pães, Massas e SalgadosTirou a farinha de trigo e o glúten da sua alimentação, mas ainda sente falta de um pão fresquinho no café da tarde, ou até mesmo de comer uma deliciosa lasanha em família de vez em quando? Neste livro, trago 100 receitas autorais de pães, massas e salgados sem glúten, testadas e aprovadas, selecionadas do meu canal “Marta Midori gluten free” no YouTube, além de dicas importantes para você acertar suas preparações sem glúten. São vários os motivos que levam alguém a aderir uma dieta livre de trigo ou a diminuir seu consumo: doença celíaca, intolerância, sensibilidade, alergias, desconfortos, mal-estar, inflamações etc. Por meio de uma experiência de dois meses, na qual retirei completamente o glúten da minha própria alimentação, pude notar claramente uma grande melhora na saúde, pois os desconfortos frequentes que eu sentia antigamente, como dores de cabeça, dores nas articulações, estufamento abdominal, esgotamento físico e mental, haviam simplesmente desaparecido. A partir desse momento fui me aprofundando cada vez mais sobre o assunto, e, mediante a muitos testes em minha cozinha, comecei a desenvolver receitas alternativas que pudessem substituir o glúten sem tirar o prazer de uma deliciosa refeição. Foi então que durante esse processo resolvi compartilhar minhas receitas com o mundo e com todos aqueles que também estão retirando o trigo da alimentação.

You wake up and feel a tickle in your throat. Your head hurts. You're mildly annoyed as you get the kids ready for school and dress for work yourself. Meanwhile, an epic war is being fought, just below your skin. Millions are fighting and dying for you to be able to complain as you head out the door.

But most of us never really stop to ask: What even is our immune system?

Second only to the human brain in its complexity, it is one of the oldest and most critical facets of life on Earth. Without it, you would die within days. In Immune, Philipp Dettmer, the brains behind the most popular science channel on YouTube, takes readers on a journey through the fortress of the human body and its defenses. There is a constant battle of staggering scale raging within us, full of stories of invasion, strategy, defeat, and noble self-sacrifice. In fact, in the time you've been reading this, your immune system has probably identified and eradicated a cancer cell that started to grow in your body.

Each chapter delves into an element of the immune system, including defenses like antibodies and inflammation as well as threats like bacteria, allergies, and cancer, as Dettmer reveals why boosting your immune system is actually nonsense, how parasites sneak their way past your body's defenses, how viruses work, and what goes on in your wounds when you cut yourself.

Enlivened by engaging full-color graphics and immersive descriptions, Immune turns one of the most intricate, interconnected, and confusing subjects--immunology--into a gripping adventure through an astonishing alien landscape. Immune is a vital and remarkably fun crash course in what is arguably, and increasingly, the most important system in the body.
