The Diet Myth - Tim Spector
What’s in it
In this absolutely fascinating book Tim Spector talks us through all the facts and myths associated with each of the elements on the food labels. And dispels a lot of them.
Key takeaways?
Everyone is unique down to the make up of the microbes in our gut. This is why some diets work for some people but not for others
The more diverse our microbes are the better - so try as many new (unprocessed) foods as possible
Antibiotics are pretty much everywhere and are not good for us
Sugar is in everything too
Fat is not always a bad thing
And too much hygiene can lead to allergies. (Or, dust and spiders are your friend!)
Why I like it
There is SO MUCH to learn in this book. Things you never knew about the impact of YOUR microbes on your body and mind.
