Tu primer cerebro

This is the first book that relates three of the most interesting health-related issues nowadays: microbiota, stress and the brain.

We are used to thinking that what we eat depends on our mood, but this correlation also applies in reverse. This book explains how emotions, diet and health relate to each other and, especially, the relation between our microbiota, modern-day pace of life and the choices we make.
