November Book Club Pick
Gut health has become a hot topic in recent years. In particular there is a lot of talk about the gut microbiome and its link to your overall health. This month we’ll be using the latest guidelines and our book club pick to answer questions such as what is the gut microbiome? Why does it matter? Do pro/prebiotics really work or are you wasting your money?
The natural book club pick for this month is “Gut” by Giulia Enders. The Sunday times best seller is described as “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, Giulia Enders breaks this taboo, revealing the latest science on how much our digestive system has to offer. From our miraculous gut bacteria - which can play a part in obesity, allergies, depression and even Alzheimer's - to the best position to poo, this entertaining and informative health handbook shows that we can all benefit from getting to know the wondrous world of our inner workings” (1).
I hope you enjoy our book club pick and by the end of the month have a better insight into the amazing world of gut health.
