Research is proving that "listening to your gut" is more than just a metaphorical saying. The combination of our gut biome and its interaction with the rest of our body creates a second brain, or perhaps a second half of a brain system. The two-way communication works through the vagus nerve, hormones and directly through molecules that make it into our blood stream. Our gut-brain connections are imprinted pre-birth and in our early years. This process includes both brain patterns and the default ecosystem of microbiota. Stress, antibiotics and food influence our gut health and in turn our immune and stress responses. Anxiety, depression and other mental issues can all be influenced by gut health. The balance of microbes reach stabilization points that can be dramatically affected by negative events and also cultivated by healthy behaviors, especially by consuming natural foods low in animal fats and with regular additions of pre and pro-biotic foods ( ) The best part of this book was the last chapter which described what optimal health is and recommended ways to achieve it. And the next best was the section about gut feelings, how the gut's signals to the brain are stored and later accessed when making decisions. The rest focused on the digestive system biome and how it affects the nervous system as a whole. Although the case histories and anecdotes in this were interesting, overall it seemed a little repetitious and based more on opinion than fact. Maybe I was underwhelmed because I’d just finished I Contain Multitudes, an excellent book on the same subject and a hard act to follow. Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and body. We have all experienced the connection between our mind and our gut—the decision we made because it “felt right”; the butterflies in our stomach before a big meeting; the anxious stomach rumbling when we’re stressed out. While the dialogue between the gut and the brain has been recognized by ancient healing traditions, including Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, Western medicine has failed to appreciate the complexity of how the brain, gut, and more recently, the microbiome—the microorganisms that live inside us—communicate with one another. In The Mind-Gut Connection, Dr. Emeran Mayer, executive director of the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress, offers a revolutionary look at this developing science, teaching us how to harness the power of the mind-gut connection to take charge of our health. The Mind-Gut Connection shows how to keep the brain-gut communication clear and balanced to: • heal the gut by focusing on a plant-based diet • balance the microbiome by consuming fermented foods and probiotics, fasting, and cutting out sugar and processed foods • promote weight loss by detoxifying and creating healthy digestion and maximum nutrient absorption • boost immunity and prevent the onset of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s • generate a happier mindset and reduce fatigue, moodiness, anxiety, and depression • prevent and heal GI disorders such as leaky gut syndrome, food sensitivities and allergies, and IBS, as well as digestive discomfort such as heartburn and bloating • and much more. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Listas de sobresalientes
En Pensar con el estómago, el doctor Emeran Mayer expone las claves y presenta una dieta simple y práctica que nos ayudará a mantener un diálogo óptimo entre mente y cuerpo para conseguir innumerables beneficios en la salud y el estado de ánimo. Todos hemos experimentado en algún momento la conexión existente entre mente e intestino. ¿Quién no recuerda haberse mareado en una situación estresante o de riesgo, haber tomado una decisión importante basada en una primera impresión, o haber sentido mariposas en el estómago antes de una cita? Hoy este diálogo, así como su impacto en nuestra salud, puede demostrarse científicamente. Cerebro, intestino y microbioma (la comunidad de microorganismos que reside en el aparato digestivo) se comunican de forma bidireccional. Si esta vía de comunicación se daña, sufriremos problemas como alergias a ciertos alimentos, desórdenes digestivos, obesidad, depresión, ansiedad, fatiga y un largo etcétera. La neurociencia de vanguardia combinada con los últimos descubrimientos sobre el microbioma humano son la base de esta guía práctica que, a través de sencillos cambios en la dieta y el estilo de vida, nos enseña a ser más positivos, mejorar nuestro sistema inmune, disminuir el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades como el Parkinson o el Alzheimer, e incluso a perder peso. Reseñas: «El doctor Emeran Mayer aprovecha de manera exquisita este momento en que la neurociencia ha descubierto que las funciones cerebrales están unidas de forma indeleble a lo que sucede en el sistema digestivo. Pensar con el estómago nos presenta una realidad asombrosa, y es que los microbios que viven en nuestro intestino dictan en gran medida la percepción e interpretación del mundo que nos rodea. Este libro redefine el significado de estar sano y proporciona, de forma elocuente, los medios para conseguir este objetivo.» Dr. David Perlmutter, autor de los best sellers Cerebro de pan y Alimenta tu cerebro «Basándose en su vasta experiencia como gastroenterólogo, el doctor Emeran Mayer escribe sobre las conexiones del cerebro con el intestino, y en especial con los microbios que hacen que este sea su hogar. Describiendo un ámbito de conocimiento con un alto grado de desarrollo, esta guía reflexiva y fácil de leer proporciona consejos prácticos para mejorar la salud.» Martin J. Blaser, autor de Missing Microbes «Después de un largo silencio, el sistema nervioso entérico ha sido reconocido como el segundo cerebro. El doctor Emeran Mayer, un verdadero experto en este tema, ha escrito sobre esta parte espectacular de nosotros mismos. Una lectura recomendada.» Antonio Damásio, autor del best seller Comes to Mind «Conozco a Emeran Mayer desde hace años y he aprendido a prestar atención a lo que dice y escribe. Es una delicia. Es, a la vez, un libro académico y de lectura agradable, y lo recomiendo a cualquier persona interesada en saber más acerca de cómo se comunican la mente y el intestino.» Michael D. Gershon, autor de The Second Brain «Investigar sobre los microbios está revolucionando nuestra comprensión del cuerpo humano y el cerebro. En Pensar con el estómago, el doctor Emeran Mayer aporta un conocimiento de autoridad incuestionable en este campo en desarrollo constante. Sintetizando investigaciones recientes con historias de pacientes y anécdotas personales, ofrece recomendaciones prácticas basadas en la evidencia para mantener un diálogo fluido entre el cerebro, el intestino y sus microbios.»Rob Knight, autor de Desde tu intestino y director del Center for Microbiome Innovation, UC San Diego ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Combining cutting-edge neuroscience with the latest discoveries on the human microbiome, a practical guide in the tradition of Wheat Belly and Grain Brain that conclusively demonstrates the inextricable, biological link between mind and body.
