Why Your Toilet Isn't the Dirtiest Thing in Your House - Plus, a Game-Changing Product I Found in Julia Enders' Book, 'Gut'

Hello everyone!

I'm a total sucker for books about the human body and how it works. I've been eyeing this series of books for ages, and I've even already written a review about one of them. My goal is to read them all, but today I want to focus on Julia Enders' Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ. This book really caught my eye. I mean, we all know so little about our guts, but we interact with them every day.

The gut is a vast, unexplored world inside each and every one of us. It works tirelessly to let us enjoy our favorite foods, stay healthy, and feel good. So why not get to know it a little better?

I love the fun design of this book, especially the little animal eating a pastry. The illustrations add a bit of fun to this serious medical book. The information doesn't seem so dry and complicated anymore.

I was surprised by some interesting facts on the flip side. As a fast reader, I start losing the thread of the story. Same thing with this book. I've tried reading it a few times, but I just couldn't finish it. Then I watched it first, and I saw something new and interesting again.

One of the things that really caught my attention was the connection between the gut and memory. I've heard about this before, but it's still cool to learn more about it in detail. And what you can do to improve it.

The other facts on the flip side seem pretty logical overall. Maybe there are some more surprising moments later in the book.

I appreciate that this book tackles super basic and intimate topics. There's a chapter called how we poop and why we should take this super casual topic seriously. It made me think of Malishyeva right away.

The illustrations are also a nice touch. They add a bit of fun to this serious medical book. The information doesn't seem so dry and complicated anymore.

The author's lighthearted style really stood out to me. I never thought of a spoon being like a tree before. Maybe I'm just weird, but my brain is probably picking up on some signals. Who knows...

I initially thought this book was going to be light and informative. The special notes in the boxes really caught my eye. Maybe it's just me, but they look like a weird, wavy line. It's not just a plain line, because the gaps between them are all different sizes.

And then there were the bigger boxes. That's when things got really interesting. Because it's not just a box – it's made up of little hairs.

I was curious about the air pocket chapter. I'd always wondered what causes it, but I never looked it up.

Our bodies are designed to absorb a lot of energy-rich elements, thanks to the work of our small intestine. That's basically the point of eating. But that last bit of food is usually excess.

We often forget why we're eating in the first place. Sure, food has a lot more functions now. It's not just about sustenance – it's also about aesthetics and all the different flavor combinations out there.

But because food is so readily available, it's easy to forget the main reason we're eating. We need it for energy, first and foremost.

When we forget that, we tend to overeat, overindulge, and can't stop ourselves from going back for more – which can lead to some pretty nasty consequences.

This book really helped me see things from a different perspective. We don't have to give up our favorite foods – we just need to change the way we approach eating.

I was fascinated by the unusual method of diagnosing appendicitis described in this book. As someone who's had appendicitis, it was really interesting to read about.

I loved that the author dedicated an entire paragraph to the super important topic of overusing antibiotics. We'll get into that more later.

Thanks to this book, I'm now paying more attention to the ingredients in my food – and I'm not skimping on the oil.

I learned about a special point that can help with nausea from this book.

And the dirtiest thing in the house? The answer wasn't what I expected, but I won't spoil it for you.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It had some new and interesting facts, so I'm glad I read it.

Thanks for reading!

This book has been a real game-changer for me. It's made me think about my relationship with food in a whole new way. I'm not saying I'm going to start eating only salads or anything, but I do think I'll be making some changes to my diet.

I've also learned a lot about the importance of gut health. I had no idea that the bacteria in our gut could have such a big impact on our overall health. It's pretty mind-blowing, to be honest.

One of the things that really stood out to me was the chapter on the appendix. I had always thought it was just a useless little piece of tissue, but it turns out it's actually really important for our immune system.

I also appreciated the author's approach to the topic of antibiotics. It's something that's really important to me, and I was glad to see it getting the attention it deserves.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who's interested in learning more about the human body. It's a really fascinating topic, and this book does a great job of making it accessible to readers.

So if you're looking for a book that will make you think, make you laugh, and maybe even make you a little bit uncomfortable, then this is the book for you.

Thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the next review!
