Let Them Eat Dirt
Summary
In the 200 years since we discovered that microbes cause infectious diseases, we've battled to keep them at bay. But a recent explosion of scientific knowledge has led to undeniable evidence that early exposure to these organisms is beneficial to our children's well-being. Our current emphasis on hyper-cleanliness is taking a toll on our children's lifelong health. This engaging and important book explains how the millions of microbes that live in our bodies influence childhood development; why an imbalance in those microbes can lead to obesity, diabetes, asthma, autism, and reactions to vaccines, among other chronic conditions; and how - from conception on - parents can positively impact their own behaviors and those of their children. It describes how natural childbirth, breastfeeding, and solid foods influence children's microbiota and offers practical advice on whether to sterilize food implements for babies, the use of antibiotics, and why having pets is a good idea.

Dreck ist gesund! Warum zu viel Hygiene Ihrem Kind schadet
Summary
Warum wir mehr Dreckspatzen brauchen. Sauberkeit und Körperpflege bei Kindern sind wichtige Themen für Eltern. Doch wie viel Hygiene brauchen Kinder, um gesund aufzuwachsen? Die Mikrobiologen Brett Finlay und Marie-Claire Arrieta haben erforscht, dass zu viel Hygiene den Aufbau eines intakten Immunsystems hemmen und damit den Weg für eine Vielzahl chronischer Krankheiten wie Diabetes, Asthma und Fettleibigkeit ebnen kann. Der Schlüssel zu einer gesunden Entwicklung unserer Kinder liegt in einem ausgeglichenen Haushalt von Mikroben, den wir über unser Hygieneverhalten beeinflussen können. Ein Muss für alle Eltern!
