Description

Increasing evidence suggests that hidden, low-level inflammation may be the number one cause of modern disease.

Shilpa Ravella, an expert in nutrition and the gut, explains why our immune systems are turning against us and what we might do about it. 'Controlling inflammation is the key to good health and this beautifully written and researched book is the best way to understand it' TIM SPECTOR, #1 bestselling author of Food for Life'A beautiful and authoritative dive into one of the most important scientific frontiers of our time' DANIEL M.

DAVIS, Professor of Immunology and author of The Beautiful Cure___Inflammation is the body's response to injury and foreign microbes.

But as our environments and diets have changed, low-level inflammation, simmering quietly and undetected, has been identified behind everything from heart disease and cancer to mysterious autoimmune conditions. Shilpa Ravella is a doctor at the forefront of this field, specialising in gut transplants, nutrition and the microbiome.

In A Silent Fire she interweaves the latest research with unusual case studies from her own practice and the history of immunology to explain what we know about this elusive phenomenon.

She debunks common myths about 'anti-inflammatory' lifestyles and explains the simple principles by which we can reform our relationship with food and our microbiomes to benefit our health. ___'As gripping as a mystery story and as useful as a self-help book' BEE WILSON, author of First Bite'Compelling, thoughtful and rigorously researched' The Times
