Charming gut: How the most powerful controls on us Bashny.Net

I once heard a dialogue: "what were You thinking?" "Jivota-o-om." The joke is not too original, but if you look from a scientific point of view... did a cute 24-year-old young lady, a microbiologist from Germany, wrote the book "a Charming gut". Now it is flying off the shelves of bookstores in Europe.

The protagonist of the book — the intestines. This complex system is often unfairly overlooked: it works, okay. Whether it is brain or heart. And the gut... In between trips to the toilet he seems to be nothing and not busy — just lay me in the stomach and muttered from time to time.





Author Giulia Enders defended his doctoral thesis at the Institute for Microbiology in Frankfurt am main (Germany). "A charming gut" is the debut book Enders. Now in the world sold more than two million copies.

How this amazing organ, few people know. So, for example, only to the academic community aware of the fact that people suffering from certain digestive problems, often compromised nervous system of the intestine: it sends signals to the brain that is responsible for the formation of negative emotions. The person feels depressed and can not determine the cause of this condition. Often such patients are referred to a therapist, but this approach, as you know, unproductive. In such cases, to cure the head, you need to treat stomach.

The work of the intestine affects memory and emotions, the infection can dull the sense of fear to cause depression and mental illness. To talk about the intestine can be long and, as this book demonstrates, it's fun.

I do not exclude that someone is shocking such a blatant appeal to Julia Enders to taboo conversational topics of digestion; someone will seem too extreme experiments on mice and patient-volunteers described in the book.

Anyone doubts the omnipotence of the tiny organisms that control our lives and inhabiting the stomach. And someone seems absurd assumption that the gut has its own "brain" and "nervous system". But let us remember that the new and unknown is always scary. And consider this book as another step on the way to disclosure of secrets and mysteries of the human body. A definite bonus are the practical tips — following them, you can really improve your health and enhance overall quality of life.
