About this Item

Description:

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Fascinating' Nigella Lawson 'Ground-breaking' Bee Wilson 'I guarantee his book will change the way you think about food and healthy eating' Delicious Magazine 'A fascinating and original look at the impact of food on our bodies underpinned by cutting-edge research' Michael Mosley Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body. Seller Inventory # GOR008022879

Synopsis:

Valgote daug vaisių ir daržovių, mažinate porcijas, skaičiuojate kalorijas, tačiau kilogramai nuo jūsų talijos niekaip nedingsta. Tuo tarpu jūsų draugė be sąžinės graužimo kasdien prie kavos mėgaujasi gardėsiais, ir vis tiek išlieka liauna it nendrė. Genetinės epidemiologijos profesoriui dr. Tim Spector ši situacija taip pat pasirodė keista. Kaip jam sekėsi ieškoti atsakymo į šį klausimą, skaitykite knygoje „Mitai ir tiesa apie maistą“.
Kaip ir bet koks kitas mokslas, dietologija randa vis randa naujų atsakymų į klausimą, kodėl tą patį maistą valgantys žmonės yra skirtingo svorio? Tačiau Tim Spector trumpam siūlo pamiršti dietas ir nepulti keisti savo valgiaraščio. Pirmiausia jis kviečia pažvelgti į savo vidų, į gilausią ir tamsiausią vietą - žarnyną.

Tai, kaip organizmas įsisavina maistą, priklauso nuo daugybės faktorių. Natūralią mūsų organizmo mikroflorą lemia genai. Mumyse gyvenantys mikroorganizmai palengvina arba apsunkina maisto įsisavinimą. Šioje knygoje, parašytoje lengvu žaismingu stiliumi, mokslininkas ieško atsakymų į mus kamuojančius klausimus – Kaip mus užprogramuoja genai? Ką organizmo mikrobai veikia kiaurą dieną? Kokie maisto produktai jiems patinka? Ar gali žarnyne gyvenančios bakterijos reguliuoti mūsų skonį? Kam reikalingi probiotikai? Ką mano apie badavimą mūsų gerosios bakterijos? Ir, žinoma, svarbiausias lieka klausimas-karalius – kaip numesti svorio?

Kodėl prancūzai, be saiko besimėgaujantys savo riebiais sūriais, gardžiais vynais ir tobulais prancūziškais raguoliais nestorėja? Kodėl kasdienis aktyvus sportas ir kukli pietų porcija netirpdo kilogramų?

Tim Spector pabrėžia – atsakymas slypi žmogaus viduje. Tinkamų maisto produktų pasirinkimas ir nuoširdus rūpinimasis žarnyne gyvenančiais mikroorganizmais – būdas, kuris leis mėgautis gražesnėmis kūno linijomis. „Mitai ir tiesa apie maistą“ remiasi pacientų istorijomis ir solidžia mokslininko patirtimi. Skaitytoją ypač sužavės paties autoriaus atlikti „buitiniai eksperimentai“. Pavyzdžiui, kas nutinka, jei dešimt dienų mintame greitu maistu ir ką apie tai mano mūsų organizmo gerosios bakterijos?
