Your stomach is not merely a part of the plumbing that makes up your digestive system. There is an independent nerve mass in the gut that can help control and regulate your body, and this has led to the stomach being called the body's second brain. Treat it with the care and respect it deserves and it will provide invaluable protection from many of the illnesses so common in our fast-paced lives. In this pioneering book, Pierre Pallardy shares his 7-step method of caring for the stomach. It includes breathing techniques, the importance of eating regularly and slowly, choosing your food wisely, finding an appropriate sport, creating harmony between the two brains, self-massage techniques and abdominal meditation.
