THE CSIRO HEALTHY GUT DIET
Pennie Taylor, Michael Conlon, Tony Bird
In recent years, we’ve come to realise that a healthy gut is pivotal to a healthy metabolism. Along with a healthy brain and a healthy immune system.
The explosion of scientific research in this field. with CSIRO at the forefront. Has therefore led to the discovery that feeding our gut bacteria with a particular type of fermentable fibre called resistant starch. Is consequently a major piece in the gut health puzzle.
The CSIRO healthy gut diet provides information on how the gut functions and what can go wrong. Along with a collection of recipes specifically developed to be high in fibre and resistant starch.
Written by a team of experienced CSIRO researchers. Including nutritional scientists and dieticians. Many of whom are internationally recognised authorities in nutrition and gut health. This book contains simple, practical advice. Along with a wide range of tasty, easy-to-make recipes designed to benefit the gut and overall health.
