Summary: Guts by Giulia Enders
The human body is composed of ten systems, each of which plays an important role in our day-to-day lives. The cardiovascular system is best known for circulating blood throughout the body and transporting oxygen and nutrients to the body. The muscular and skeletal systems work hand-in-hand to allow for bodily movements. And it is through the nervous system that our cells know how to interact with one another in order to function properly.
Among these systems, the most underrated is the digestive system. To the common man, it is often thought that the gut merely digests food by separating the good bits from the bad – where nutrients are transported into different parts of the body, and those with no use are simply secreted out. But the truth it, there is so much more going on inside us than we know. In fact, studies reveal that there are diseases which can be easily avoided, had we been conscious of our gut’s processes.
The book, “ The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Underrated Organ” by Giulia Enders, helps readers dive into the world of our most underrated organ to understand its intricacies. It artfully and interestingly explains each step in the digestive process, and provides additional information on how our bodies develop allergic reactions and food intolerances, why it happens, and how to deal with its effects
