Compact Edition: The Gut is 90% of It All: The Ultimate Health Guide to the "Gut" from a Renowned Doctor Release Date: July 31, 2025 The best-selling book, "The Gut is 90% of It All," with over 80,000 copies sold, is now available in a more affordable compact edition! Dr. Toru Kawamura, the author, says, "Among the many health methods, 'regulating the gut' is the most important." This is because the gut is the "keystone" of overall health. In particular, the "gut" is the defense line that prevents "bad things" like viruses and bacteria from entering the body. If this line is breached, "bad things" are transported throughout the body via the bloodstream. Therefore, there are so many diseases and symptoms caused by the gut: Depression, Dementia Infections, Allergies, Hay Fever, Obesity, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Arteriosclerosis Fatigue, Swelling, Insomnia, Lower Back Pain, Body Odor Enteritis, Colitis, Colon Cancer, Constipation, Diarrhea If the gut is healthy, it is also effective for dieting and can prevent skin problems. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that "90% of overall health is related to the gut." The secret to health lies in the gut. So, how do you think you can make your gut healthy? ● "I'm fine because I eat yogurt." ● "I always have natto and rice for breakfast." Many people say this, but In reality, it doesn't mean as much as you think. This is because most of the bacteria in yogurt are killed by stomach acid. The bacteria in natto survive and reach the intestines, but Unfortunately, they don't necessarily thrive as beneficial bacteria in our intestines. Both types of bacteria are excreted as stool within 1-2 days. (※ The dead bacteria serve as food for beneficial bacteria, so it's not completely meaningless) What's important is to consume dietary fiber, and another thing. A surprisingly overlooked important point is to have a "super active gut." When the gut moves well, a liquid called mucin is released from the intestinal mucosa, which increases beneficial bacteria, leading to a healthy gut environment. In Japanese gut health practices, "creating a well-moving gut" is a point that has been surprisingly overlooked. This book introduces methods for achieving a "super active gut" from both dietary and exercise perspectives. ● Gut-Boosting Exercises ● Gut-Cleansing Soup
