Description
Professor Tim Spector reveals how developing research about our gut biome – the microbes in our gut – is revolutionising our understanding of diet and disease. And he argues this may also help explain why we got so many things wrong about food. For example, it turns out that not all calories are equal, because different microbes will deal with identical calorie foods in very different ways.
70% of our immune cells are actually in our gut, so how our microbes interact with these immune cells has a major impact on how effective our bodies are at fighting infections and illnesses.
In his recently published book: Food for Life: The New Science of Eating Well, Tim reveals what we should eat to optimise our gut biome and health.
Tim Spector is a professor in genetic epidemiology at King’s College, London and one of the founders of the personalised nutrition company Zoe.
