The human body has two brains, but not two brains as we know them.
Our brain in our head is responsible for our thinking and processing. It is essentially a command center for our nervous system.
The second brain, is located in our stomach. The human stomach contains certain elements of the nervous system, including chemicals that influence our mood. This nervous system operated independent of our brain and as a result, is a legitimate second brain. It controls our digestive system and more!
Studies have also found a connection between mental health issues and low levels of healthy bacteria in the gut. In addition to our gut controlling our digestive system, it also determines some of the emotions we feel. Two hormones, dopamine and serotonin, which create positive feelings, are produced by the bacteria in our stomach.
Many neurological issues are identified due to problems with digestive health. In fact, many researchers believe that an unhealthy digestive system causes many neurological and mental health issue.
Here are 4 practical tips to improve gut health:
- Drink more water and eat more fibre.
- Eat more fermented foods, including yoghurt and sauerkraut.
- Avoid unnecessary antibiotic use.
- Support gut health by taking Activated Phenolics antioxidants.
