Smart Gut. How to Change Your Body from the Inside Out

The author of this book claims that the gut is our "second brain": it contains over a hundred million neurons — approximately as many as a cat's brain. The gut cannot solve geometric problems or worry about taxes; instead, it regulates digestion and normalizes a person's well-being.

In the form of a journey through the digestive system, Dr. Michael Mosley will explain what digestive organs do and what happens when something goes wrong with them. He will also offer scientifically proven methods to help control food preferences and promote weight loss. He will tell you how to cultivate "good" bacteria responsible for normal gut function and how to fight "bad guys" that cause obesity and other diseases.

At the end of the book, you will find recipes from nutritionist Tanya Borowski and general practitioner Claire Bailey — a complete arsenal of tools to normalize gut function and improve overall physical health.
