Why is 🦠Gut Health🦠 so important?
I personally, know it is very difficult to remove our habits, but our common diets are killing us from the inside out.
High processed foods
Not enough food diversity
Alcohol
Fried foods
Glyphosate(round up) contaminated foods
No prebiotics
No probiotics
Refined sugars
These all lead to a unbalanced gut microbiome, which leads to many of the daily issues we face.
Your gut and brain are connected through chemicals called neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitters produced in the brain control feelings and emotions.
The neurotransmitter serotonin contributes to feelings of happiness, mood stabilization and also helps control your body clock.
Interestingly, many of these neurotransmitters are also produced by your gut cells and the trillions of microbes living there!
Did you know over 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut!?!?
That's right, your emotions and happiness neuro chemical is produced is the gut lining.
Your gut microbes also produce a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which helps control feelings of fear and anxiety.
Studies in laboratory mice have shown that certain probiotics can increase the production of GABA and reduce anxiety and depression-like behavior.
This can happen when the gut barrier becomes leaky, which allows bacteria and LPS to cross over into the blood.
By altering the types of bacteria in your gut, it may be possible to improve your brain health!
