This is an automatically translated description

The author of this book argues that the gut is our «second brain»: it contains more than a hundred million neurons — about the same as the brain of a cat.

The intestines cannot solve geometric problems and do not care about taxes, but instead regulate digestion and normalise human health. Dr Michael Moseley will explain what the digestive system does and what happens when something goes wrong with it. He will also offer scientifically proven methods to help control food preferences and promote weight loss.

He will tell you how to nurture the "good" bacteria responsible for the normal functioning of the intestines, and how to fight the "bad" bacteria 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 - the whole arsenal of tools to normalise bowel function and improve your overall physical condition.
