Description
Inflammation is the body's ancestral response to its greatest threats—our first line of biological defense against injury and foreign pathogens. But as our environments and diets have changed, new research has detected low-level inflammation simmering beneath the surface of modernity's leading killers, from heart disease to cancer to depression. In A Silent Fire, gastroenterologist Shilpa Ravella unveils hidden inflammation's emerging role as a common root of modern disease, exploring why the immune system turns against us—and what we might do about it. Spotlighting the work of medical visionaries and debunking common myths about "anti-inflammatory" lifestyles, Rabella reveals how we can reform our relationships with food and our microbiomes to live not only long, but well.
