Book Description
Demystifying the buzz words of gut health and microbiome, this book explains clearly the importance of fiber in our diets. Most people now know just how important the gut is to our health and wellbeing, including its impact on our digestive and immune systems and on diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and even mental health, but so much of the information out there is hard to understand or doesn't offer realistic solutions. Alana and Lisa Macfarlane have spent the past few years interviewing top-notch gut pros: scientists, academics, chefs and foodies to get the real scoop and science behind what we eat. The book offers practical and achievable advice in a fun and accessible way and explains what gut health is and why it is so relevant today. The science behind mind and body and how they are linked, including the gut's effect on sleep, anxiety, immunity, and skin are covered, along with practical advice on what can be done to improve gut health.
