Publisher's Synopsis
What is a microbiome? Why is nurturing yours so important? Can you improve your mood by simply eating healthier foods? What types of foods should you eat and what will they do for your body? What do your brainwave patterns and parts of your mind have to do with your stomach and gut microbiome?
These are just some of the questions that are answered in The Food-Mood Connection: A Holistic Approach to Understanding the Gut-Brain-Microbiome Relationship.
Understanding the gut-brain-microbiome relationship will help you reboot your mental health, improve your immune system, and overcome obesity. This book will teach you how to feed and care for your microbiome, help you understand the interconnection of the relationships found in the Human Ecological Model, and explain how making changes in your habits at the individual level can accumulate to the point where we can actually realize and achieve a global vision of health as well as improve the health of the planet. This book will also teach you what you can do to reduce or eliminate diseases in your body and how to improve your good gut bacteria... and it provides you with recipes you can use to do both!
This special Teacher's Edition contains additional resources for teachers to use. At the end of each chapter is a section called "Links or Resources for Lesson Planning" as well as a section called "Inquiry Ideas, Worksheets, or Teaching Aids," to further promote learning by their students.
