20 Best Books on Gut Health to read in 2024
1. The Diet Myth by Tim Spector
- Increase the diversity of food, which is conducive to the growth of intestinal flora. Learn the Mediterranean diet, adding whole grains, olive oil, all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, red wine, fish, and dairy products;
- Eat more organic food and reduce the indirect intake of antibiotics and hormones. Antibiotics will greatly reduce intestinal microorganisms;
- Be wary of sugar in processed foods; sweeteners are just as bad, disrupting the function of gut flora, negatively impacting metabolism, and thus endangering health;
- Dark chocolate containing 70% cocoa is good for health. People who eat chocolate often have healthier metabolism and intestinal flora;
- Drinking a cup of coffee in the morning can wake up the microorganisms in the body. Coffee contains polyphenols and cellulose, while tea has no cellulose;
- Regularly drinking a small amount of alcohol can greatly increase the types of gut microbes;
- As long as no salt is added, eating 30 grams of mixed nuts a day has a significant reduction in the risk of heart disease compared with the low-fat diet group, which is almost equivalent to the additional consumption of olive oil;
- Proper fasting and learning to starve can reduce body fat and stress-related cortisol levels.
2. Spoon-Fed by Professor Tim Spector
3. Gut by Giulia Enders
4. Fiber fueled by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz
- Short-chain fatty acids - SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) are the products of the decomposition of fibers by the beneficial intestinal flora, which have many benefits to the human body.
- prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics - that is, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.
- Rainbow Food Theory
- How to tell if the homemade sauerkraut is spoiled - just look at it with your eyes, if it is moldy, hairy, or smelly, it is broken.
5. Gut Garden by Katie Brosnan
6. 10% Human by Alanna Collen
- The first part (Prelude - Chapter 3) details how microorganisms affect our physical health and control our brains;
- the second part (Chapter 4 - Chapter 5) details Understanding allergies because the immune system is too dutiful, and how people overuse antibiotics and destroy their own immune systems;
