Product Information

Scientists know that more than 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut – but how does what you eat affect your mood? See 8 tips for healthy eating to find out more about why you need to cut down on saturated fat, sugar and salt, which foods they're found in, and how to make healthier choices. Keep an eye on the fats you add when you're cooking or serving these types of foods because that's what increases the calorie content – for example, oil on chips, butter on bread and creamy sauces on pasta. 2. Eat lots of fruit and veg Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins and minerals and fibre, and should make up just over a third of the food you eat each day.

We need other types of foods to protect us from illness and to help us grow. Vitamins and minerals help our bones, eyes and teeth stay strong and our bodies healthy.

World-leading gut health scientist

This is an excellent, evidence-based book on gut health with practical approaches on how to improve our gut health, self-manage some common gut symptoms with first-line advice and where to go if medical attention is required. This book (published 2019) is in line with current UK and international nutrition guidelines and current leading scientific evidence. I find it well written, with enough science to understand why gut health is important without the traditional jargon normally used to inflate an author’s ego or sell their own special ”diet”. It’s not one of those “diet books” that dictates special rules or tells you to exclude certain foods (which most of the fad diets insist are a “must” for eternal good health etc. Usual BS). The author is practicing dietitian in London (the only legally protected nutrition qualification in the UK) and holds a PhD in gut health (biomedical sciences). Reading this was a breath of fresh air in a literature field saturated with “nutrition-gurus” selling the latest detox juice-cleanse anti-cancer pseudoscience. Supercharge your digestive health and transform your overall wellbeing with this ultimate guide that promises to make you happier and healthier from the inside out. So yes, the book will make me think about what I eat but I don't feel I have enough information really to comment on the diet which is recommended. It does seem to take a holistic approach and also consider the impact of sleep and stress on the functioning of the body.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel your best. You also need protein. You can get this from beef, which comes from cows. It is present in fish too. Plants such as the soybean also contain protein, as do nuts.Drawing from the latest research and a decade of experience as a dietitian and consultant at The Gut Health Clinic, Dr Megan Rossi explains how to feed your gut for a happier, healthier you using simple, delicious and gut-boosting recipes. Bell pepper– I used a red bell pepper because I love the color, taste and crispness, but any color bell pepper would work! Unfortunately the review copy I received wasn't easy to read on the Kindle as paragraphs seemed to be overlaid. Also, only a short part of the book was available for review so I have seen only very few recipes, so I couldn't really comment on that aspect of the book.

Alongside Megan’s gut-friendly recipes, this book also includes expert advice on how to deal with common complaints such as IBS, constipation and bloating, as well as how to diagnose food intolerances, and manage good gut health with sleep and exercise routines. Supercharge your digestive health and transform your overall wellbeing with this ultimate guide that promises to make you happier and healthier from the inside out. You can choose from fresh, frozen or canned, but remember that canned and smoked fish can often be high in salt. Some people perceive coconut oil to be healthy but the British Heart Foundation says it is more likely to raise levels of LDL cholesterol than lower them. A review of 55 studies on the effects of different oils on blood cholesterol found vegetable oils such as rapeseed, flaxseed and olive oil to be the best choice for lowering cholesterol. Coconut oil fared better than butter but seed oils, for example sunflower oil, won the day as the best ones for cooking your food in. Manage your alcohol I learned that this restrictive diet over the years not only messed with my gut microbiota but also my mental health as well. Our pancreas is another organ that feeds into our small intestine. It acts like a busy factory, producing enzymes, which help digest our food, and hormones, which help control how much sugar is in our blood.”

3. Eat more fish, including a portion of oily fish

Having said that, I found Megan Rossi's information about the gut and gut health very interesting. I had no idea that the gut has an impact on mental health or that even identical twins have their own unique gut microbiota which can help to explain why different people react so differently to different medicines. It was also interesting to learn that for 15-20% of the population just adding more prebiotics to the diet can actually trigger gut symptoms.
