Veganism And Human Brain, Mind and Consciousness

Viac o knihe

The book explores the significant impact of dietary fiber on colonic microflora and its broader implications for human evolution and brain function. A high-fiber diet promotes beneficial changes, enhancing butyrate production and supporting the expression of HERV genes, which play a role in genomic flexibility and the development of the human neocortex. Conversely, a low-fiber diet fosters archaeal growth, leading to reduced synaptic connectivity and a shift towards neanderthal-like brain characteristics. The text emphasizes the importance of fiber in maintaining optimal brain health and cognitive function.
