How to improve immunity according to leading research from Harvard, University of Tokyo, and others.
Cutting-edge medical research results from Harvard, Sorbonne University, the University of Tokyo, and others, clearly explain the facts behind how the novel coronavirus infection progresses and why some people are more susceptible to illness than others. This book also touches on proven medical treatment mechanisms.
As indicated in a thesis on unbalanced autonomic nervous systems in relation to common cold susceptibility, the autonomic nervous system plays a key role in a healthy immune system. Numerous data indicate that when done correctly, the breathing exercises introduced in these pages will improve the function of the parasympathetic nervous system in under a minute, confirming them as effective in repairing the autonomic nervous system.
The body works hard to fight off disease while we sleep. In addition to a boost in lymphocytes, melatonin and growth hormones fight off harmful free radicals, refreshing the immune system and balancing the autonomic nervous system. However, low sleep amount and quality is detrimental to our health, and increases the risk of illness. Latest research shows that these breathing exercises improve the overall quality of sleep.
Medically proven methods for boosting the immune system, simply explained and made easy to incorporate into your daily life.

Chapter 5 Improving the foundation of the body’s virus-fighting strength
Growing old is scary. Over the last ten years, I’ve suffered several stomach flu cases accompanied by nausea and cold sweats. Peeling feet, illnesses with increasingly severe symptoms as well as those with mild symptoms, cold-like symptoms, strange headaches. Bedridden for a week with influenza each year, and even catching it twice in one season. It’s amazing how weak the immune system becomes.
The breathing exercises introduced in these pages turned all that around. It’s the perfect way to refresh yourself when busy with work or to do for a few minutes before bed. In doing that, I can now sleep through the night more often than in recent years. Good sleep has fully recharged my body. All you need is a few minutes. It will change your life.
