The connection between digestive health and the rest of the human body. More than sixty million people are affected by digestive diseases in the United States. The latest science shows that "you are what you eat" may be truer than we even thought. Diet has a profound effect on both physical and mental health. Most of our immune system is in the gut, so pathology and dysfunction in the gut and imbalanced gut flora can cause neuroinflammation and possibly even neurodegenerative disease over time. Featuring contributions from dozens of experts on gut disorders and related physical, mental, and behavioral health, this book will fascinate you as you read about the intriguing world of bad bugs, cytokine storms, and the environment in your belly that influences your brain.
