As the results of various studies on the bacteria in the body accumulate, the intestinal bacteria have become so important that they are called the sixth organ. Intestinal bacteria are considered both friends and enemies of humans, and depending on how our body regulates them, they can either help or harm our health. Now, knowledge of intestinal bacteria is essential for us, and it has become more important to understand the intestinal situation and to have a diet that suits my body.

38 trillion bacteria live in the large intestine, deeply involved in the immune system and acting as a conductor. What is the mechanism by which bacterial secretions, such as short-chain fatty acids, enter the brain and feel symptoms of disease through the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin and the ‘brain-gut axis’?

‘Cerebral correlation’ (腦腸相關). The brain and intestines have a close relationship with each other. The brain and intestine affect each other through three pathways: the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system, and transmit information and act in both directions. This is why the gut is called the second brain.

This book solves questions by explaining a variety of clinically experienced and researched knowledge regarding various issues related to the intestines.

The author follows the daily digestive process and receives and decomposes the debris from this process, and the intestinal bacteria that live have an effect on psychological control, small intestinal bacterial overphagia (STBO), and the immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab used in the treatment of US President Carter’s malignant melanoma. Mitch has carefully organized the intestinal bacteria, ‘Ackermansia musiniphila’.

In particular, it approaches the role of disturbed dysbiosis enterobacteria that cause disease, and explains why you should pay close attention to eating, defecation, and sleep in everyday life.

Jeong Eun-kyung, former head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a recommendation, “About 80% of the immune cells that protect our bodies from pathogens such as the corona virus are in the intestines. If you protect your gut health and increase your immunity, you can protect your health from many diseases, not just infectious diseases.” He pointed out that “this book explains in detail how to strengthen the intestines in an easy and detailed way.”

Baek Hee-young, former Minister of Gender Equality and Family (Professor Emeritus of Seoul National University), said, “Gender difference medicine, which has paid attention to the fact that there are differences in the incidence rate and symptoms depending on gender, has recently attracted a lot of attention internationally. “This book explains colorectal cancer and various intestinal diseases in an easy-to-understand way for the general public, reveals the differences between men and women, and presents specific ways to deal with them,” he emphasized.

Paik Nam-jong, former director of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, said, “This book is structured so that readers can read it interestingly from beginning to end by conveying professional knowledge in easy-to-understand language.” “Through this, we gain new knowledge regarding the importance of gut bacteria.”

This book, which consists of a total of nine chapters, is ▲Why are chapters important? ▲Types of intestinal diseases ▲Men and women are different from each other (sex difference medicine) ▲Why intestinal diseases lead to all diseases ▲The secret of intestinal bacteria ▲The biggest enemy of intestinal health ▲In the end, food is the problem ▲Why is the intestine the second brain? ? ▲ Suggests a way to restore, protect, and strengthen intestinal health by creating lifestyle habits that keep the intestines healthy.

The author said, “As we realize that just as our body is a microcosm, the bacteria living in the digestive tract are also desperate to maintain their survival, we have no choice but to admit that the microenvironment in which intestinal bacteria are formed together with our body is very important.” I hope this book, which captures the research and experience of living as a gastroenterologist for years, will help you know how to maintain a healthy intestine and practice it wisely.”

For the past 30 years, the author has studied sex difference medicine on the differences between men and women in Helicobacter pylori and digestive system diseases and diseases, and has prevented intestinal diseases such as irritable growth syndrome, functional dyspepsia, peptic ulcer, stomach cancer and colon cancer, which are modern diseases. and seeking treatment. in writing <헬리코박터 파일로리>, <임상영역에서의 성차의학>, <소화기질환에서의 성차의학>English versionHelicobacter pylori> etc. (☎ 031-955-6050).
