Our microbiota is unique. It is built from birth, where microorganisms colonize the digestive tract of the newborn because of the immaturity of its immune system. The mode of delivery, age, diet, environment or taking medication are all factors that influence its diversity and composition. Throughout the pages, we realize the importance of the intestinal microbiota and the bacteria that compose it. By sharing their experience, the couple Sonnenburg, leads us to reflect on the education of our children, often conditioned from an early age to extreme asepsis, for fear of “bad microbes”. It also brings us to questions about our way of life, especially about how we cook, with the use of low-carb food accessible to the microbiota and poor in prebiotics.
This book allows us to understand the importance of our microbiota and learn how to take care of it every day, thanks to a multitude of advice for you and your family.
Note to food lovers, you will find 31 bonus recipes to take care of you and your microbiota !
