AS SEEN ON NETFLIX'S HACK YOUR HEALTH: THE SECRETS OF YOUR GUT
'The world's most surprising page-turner.'
Anna Murphy, The Times
Our gut is as important as our brain or heart, yet we know very little about how it works and many of us are too embarrassed to ask questions.
In?Gut, science star and medical doctor Giulia Enders breaks this taboo, revealing the latest science on how much our digestive system does for us. It trains two-thirds of our immune system, provides our body with the energy it needs to live, and has the largest nervous system after the brain.
This book contains:
* Helpful information about our miraculous gut bacteria - which can play a part in obesity, allergies, depression and even Alzheimer's
* Fascinating insights into problems such as constipation, acidity, and vomiting, as well as gluten and lactose intolerance
* Practical tips for how we can use this knowledge to improve our everyday lives - right through to the best position to poo!
Our gut is the core of who we are, and this charming and witty book is an absolute must-have for anyone interested in their body.
