Summary
From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The FastDiet and The 8-Week Blood Sugar Diet, a groundbreaking book about your gut—the “second brain” of the body—and “the life-changing new plan that’ll make you healthier, happier, and slimmer” (Daily Mail).  Michael Mosley is a British television journalist, producer and presenter, working with the BBC. He`s famous for all sorts of health-related shows including `Trust me, I`m a doctor` and `Eat, fast, and live longer`. In 2017 Michael Mosley released `The Clever Guts Diet` book about gut health. In this book, Michael Mosley describes the gut system and the inter-related part of the enteric nervous system, and the make up of the biome of the intestines. The explanation given is that certain foods have certain effects on the the gut biome, which can and does have feedback loops. That each person can and does have different responses to different foods. What is good for one person, isn`t necessarily for the next person, and that there is an Israeli team setting up testing so that advice can be specialised for the individual. His end conclusion is that we are better off eating the Mediterranean diet with lots of carotenoids, flavonoids, resistant starches, and fibres, and having intermittent hunger periods to promote the population of Akermansia species in our guts.
