Did you know you’re not alone in your body? Does that sound like alien science fiction?
Actually, it’s just a medical fact. You share your body with billions of microbes. Most live in your digestive tract and they play a vital role in keeping you healthy.
The microbes in your gut help your body to digest food, fight intruders, protect your immune system and make vitamins for your body. The recipes in this cookbook will show you how to help your digestive system do its job properly.
The microbes in your gut are not just for digestion, either. Recent studies have shown that good bacteria in your gut can play a part in better mood, more stable emotions and even help to fight off disorders like autism and epilepsy.
When you take care of the microbes in your gut, they will take better care of you. Feed your microbes the things they like and use best, like fermented foods, whole grains and fresh produce. Stay away from foods like refined sugars.
Your good bacteria thrive on diverse, healthy foods. You can include helpful foods in your diet, like beans, bananas, leeks, whole grains, oats, nuts, leafy greens, avocados and fermented foods, including kimchi and yogurt. The more you help your, gut, the healthier you will be. Try some of these gut-healthy recipes soon!
