Gut
内容简介
For too long, the gut has been the body’s most ignored and least appreciated organ, but it turns out that it’s responsible for more than just dirty work: our gut is at the core of who we are. Gut: The Inside Story of our Body's Most Underrated Organ gives the alimentary canal its long-overdue moment in the spotlight. With quirky charm, rising science star Giulia Enders explains the gut’s magic, answering questions like: Why does acid reflux happen? What’s really up with gluten and lactose intolerance? How does the gut affect obesity and mood? Communication between the gut and the brain is one of the fastest-growing areas of medical research—on par with stem-cell research. Our gut reactions, we learn, are intimately connected with our physical and mental well-being.
Aided with cheerful illustrations by Enders’s sister Jill, this beguiling manifesto will make you finally listen to those butterflies in your stomach: they’re trying to tell you something important.

读书文摘
而心脏，那个爱你的心脏，那个为你一天泵不止10万次、全年不歇、终生无休的心脏，在你情绪低落、怨天尤人的时候就想想它不求回报的爱，会不会感到些许欣慰呢？
假如你还有兴趣尝试一些其他的偏方，那不妨试试“蹲式秋干”吧。这个做起来很简单:首先坐在马桶上，上身最大程度地往前弯曲(尽量去够大腿)，然后抬起上身重新回到90度的坐姿。这样重复几次应该就有感觉了。友情提示，上则所时请记得关门，否则吓着别人就不好了
