Dr. David Perlmutter is a famous neurologist and the author of the book Grain Brain. He discusses in length the research behind the fact that our health, especially our brain health, is dependent on our gut and the microbiome that makes up our digestive system.
“Put simply, everything about our health – how we feel both emotionally and physically – hinges on the state of our microbiome,” says Perlmutter.
In the article, he points out three interesting facts about brain health
- In the past 35 years, death due to brain disease has increased by 66%
- The cost per year has tripled that we pay to take care of dementia patients compared to cancer patients
- Mood and anxiety disorders are rising as is multiple sclerosis while autism is eight times more common today than it was 15 years ago.
