Back Cover: The NiMe Diet

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.

“Everybody knows that diet is important for health, but many underestimate the impact it can truly have. Every year, around 11 million deaths worldwide are caused by poor diet, yet studies suggest that life expectancy can be extended by 10 years by eating a healthy diet.  This book offers a practical roadmap for restoring the gut microbiome and improving health through a diet that is inspired by traditional, non-industrialized dietary habits”.
