The author of this book claims that the gut is our 'second brain': it contains over a hundred million neurons - about as many as a cat's brain. The gut doesn't know how to solve geometric problems and doesn't care about taxes, but instead regulates digestion and normalizes well-being In the form of a journey through the digestive system, Dr. Michael Moseley will talk about what the digestive organs do and what happens when something goes wrong. He will also offer scientifically proven methods to help control food preferences and promote weight loss. He will tell you how to nurture " "good" bacteria that are responsible for the normal functioning of the intestine, and how to fight the "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 whole arsenal of means to normalize the functioning of the intestine and improve the general physical condition."
