| 內容簡介 | 腸道就像是我們的第二個大腦：腸道神經系統環繞整個腸器官，並不斷地將信息傳遞給大腦，進而影響我們的情緒。研究人員現在已發現人類可分為三種不同的腸道組或稱作腸道型。如同血型一樣，這與性別、年齡或種族無關。此一發現使腸道疾病治療和營養研究有了新的發展。
Our intestine is like a second brain: What’s known as the enteric nervous system surrounds the entire organ, permanently sending information to the brain and influencing our emotions. Now researchers have discovered that humans fall into three different intestinal groups or enterotypes. Like blood groups, these are not linked to gender, age or ethnicity. The discovery has led to promising developments in the treatment of intestinal disorders and in nutrition research.<摘錄自媒體封面或內頁> |
