I highly recommend this book. It synthesizes all sorts of new research from the past 15 years and is really the best modern understanding of how the body degrades when under the stress of a poor diet. Dr. Weil has also reported on this and other books that deal with Diabetes also now hold this view as a co-factor of that disease.
Basically the Inflammation zone is your body under stress, caused more so by poor nutrients and foods that are hard to digest. By balancing the diet your body becomes more relaxed and able to deal with other pathogens and ages more gracefully. A really interesting book and a good addition to the discussion regarding nutrients, diet choices and aging.
Your should check it out. You can also read it for free, online, at Google books.
