Industrialized diets – high in processed foods and low in fibre – disrupt the gut microbiome and predispose us to chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, that have reached epidemic proportions in industrialized countries.
Microbiome scientists Anissa Armet (PhD in Nutrition and Metabolism, and registered dietitian) and Jens Walter (Professor and Doctorate in Microbiology) have developed the Non-Industrialized Microbiome Restore diet, or NiMe diet (pronounced Nee-Mee), to restore key microbiome features affected by industrialization and promote cardiometabolic health. In this book, the authors present the scientific rationale for developing the NiMe diet, information on how the diet was clinically validated in a human trial, as well as the recipes used in the trial.
