The Gut and Brain are connected!
The communication network that connects your gut and brain is called the ‘gut-brain axis’.
The Gut and Brain are connected and when you take care of your gut you are taking care of your brain!
Your first port of call for improved gut health should always be our Advanced Gut Relief product >>
Here’s why gut heath is critical to brain health:
Your gut (sometimes referred to as the 2nd brain) contains 500 million neurons, which are connected to your brain through your nervous system and the vagus nerve – which sends signals in both directions!
Studies have shown:
- Gastrointestinal problems cause inflammation and stress which in affects the brain.
- Stress inhibits the signals sent through the vagus nerve and in turn causes gastrointestinal problems.
- People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Crohn’s disease had reduced function of the vagus nerve.
- The vagus nerve is important in the gut-brain connection and its role in stress.
