The Good Gut
Justin Sonnenburg and
Erica Sonnenburg
If
you are interested in learning more about the microbes that live in
your gut and how they influence your health, then The
Good Gut is
a book for you. The authors argue that microbiota in our bodies
affects both our health and our mood. Interestingly, our ancient
ancestors had a lot more bacteria in their guts than we do today,
leaving the authors to wonder if the absence of this bacteria is the
cause of many modern diseases. With changing diets and the increasing
overuse of antibiotics, we may be experiencing higher rates of
illness than our ancestors. This book helps you get your microbiota
back on track. There is even a useful menu section at the end to help
you feed your gut correctly.
Having
read this work, I'm now thinking about how I can nourish and care for
the bacteria residing in my gut. If you are interested in taking
charge of your health, this informative, easy to read book is one to
consider.
