Food is essential to life. It's also one of the spices of life. When you taste different flavors and varieties of meals, it gives a certain pleasure, especially to those who love food and if it's your favorite meal that you are eating. However, as much as food can be enjoyable, Heal Your Gut Save Your Brain by Partha Nandi, M.D., tells us what some of the food we eat can cause in our gut, thereby having a resultant effect on our brain.

The author discussed the microbiome in our gut. Fibers are very good for our gut because they aid digestion and are useful in forming the poop that we defecate. These fibers are also prebiotics, which, when digested by the probiotics, also known as the good bacteria in our intestine, can lead to the release of postbiotics like butyrate, which are very good at protecting the linings of the gut wall, thereby preventing the transfer of materials that are not good for the body into the blood. When there's an imbalance in the microbiomes in the gut, it can lead to diseases like Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's disease, etc. Hence, this book contained the five pillars to healthy gut health and resultant brain health.

It is very obvious from the message in this book and from the author's qualifications that it was written with authority. This means that the content of this book is authentic, and the author further confirmed this by quoting renowned researchers and using examples to further send points home. While talking about Parkinson's disease, she described it as a neuronal disorder in the brain. It comes with detailed symptoms that a reader can rely on to check on themselves or those around them. It is worthy of note that Parkinson's disease does not only affect the elderly. But how does this disease relate to the gut?

As much as this book was rich with knowledge, I must say that the standard with which the contents in it were explained was too high. A non-professional cannot read and understand this book. If a person does not have knowledge of biochemistry, one would find it difficult to understand the mechanisms described in the book and the biochemicals mentioned. However, this was my only dislike.

I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. This is because even though the contents of this book have words that cannot be understood unless one is grounded in their field of knowledge, there are also parts of it that a layperson would simply understand. The author made clear the main theme of the book. I recommend this book to those who are interested in improving their health.
