The Clever Gut Diet

Viac o knihe

Your guts have an astonishing degree of control over your mood, hunger, and general health. Clever Guts is a book that celebrates this hugely under-rated organ and shows you what you need to do to keep it in prime condition. Bestselling author Dr. Michael Mosley reveals the latest research into the workings of the microbiome – the kilogram of alien bacteria that live in your gut – and takes a look at exactly what happens inside your stomach and intestines as you go about your daily life. He demonstrates how your gut communicates with your body and mind, why your biome affects your weight, your health, even your happiness. With his renowned aptitude for self-experimentation, Dr. Mosley also delves into the science of his own digestive system; he trials a range of diets to ascertain their effects on body shape and blood sugar, and looks at the effects of prebiotics, probiotics, and antibiotics. Filled with case studies, menu plans, and practical advice for optimising your biome, Clever Guts will change how you see your body forever.
