In \u003cem\u003eThe Plant Paradox\u003c\/em\u003e, renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry reveals that gluten is just one variety of a common, and highly toxic, plant-based protein called lectin. Lectins are found not only in grains like wheat but also in the 'gluten-free' foods most of us commonly regard as healthy, including many fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and conventional dairy products. These proteins, which are found in the seeds, grains, skins, rinds, and leaves of plants, are designed by nature to protect them from predators (including humans).

Gundry, New York Times bestselling author of the Plant Paradox series, presents a paradigm-shifting new dietary program to restore and improve brain health and function.   There is no modern marvel as impressive as the human brain, with nearly infinite storage capacity and more processing power than any supercomputer. Yet the brain is also particularly vulnerable to the pitfalls of our modern diet. Since the advent of agriculture, the human brain has shrunk by 10% in men and 17% in women! And size matters. The bigger the brain, the higher the cognitive function.   Most brain-health programs and dietary advice overlooks one key factor when it comes to eating for a bigger brain: the best brain foods don’t come from the land, but from the sea.   In Feed Your Brain, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Steven R. Gundry reveals how our ancestors’ diet at the shoreline provided the essential nutrients that sparked explosive brain growth. Modern dietary advice has led us astray, overemphasizing the importance of protein and red meat without providing the true building blocks of a healthy brain, fueling a crisis of neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. In reality, the nutrients our brains need to stay sharper longer are found in seafood, seaweed, and other marine-based sources. In this groundbreaking guide, Dr. Gundry explains:That our brains are made of 60% fat—and why we need to eat more of the right fatsWhy Omega-6 fat Arachidonic Acid (AA) is just as important for the brain as the Omega-3 fat DHAWhy eating according to the golden ratio of 1:1 Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats is key for a healthy brainThat seed oils are not all evil—some are actually good for the brainThe powerful role your gut microbiome plays in supporting brain health and functionHow our protein obsession is fueling neuroinflammationRooted in the most cutting-edge science and featuring compelling takeaways with 25 delicious brain-boosting recipes, Feed Your Brain is your ultimate guide to fighting cognitive decline and building a stronger, more powerful brain from the inside out.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57495403200885,"sku":"9780063477278","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780063477278.jpg?v=1792424155"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-md-dr-steven-r-gundry.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
