Stay Healthy Weekly News

Gut health is crucial for both physical and mental well-being. It plays a significant role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune function, and even mood regulation.

The gut is home to many microbes that influence your physiology and ensure the proper functioning of your body and brain.

As studies tell us, these gut microbes affect the way you store fat, how you balance levels of glucose in your blood, and how you respond to hormones that make you feel hungry or satiated.

The wrong internal mix can set the stage for obesity and other health issues later in life.

Scientists have also found that gut bacteria produce neurotransmitters that regulate your mood including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.

Researchers have also discovered that a nervous system in your gut (known as the “second brain”) communicates with the brain in your head. It also plays a role in certain diseases and in mental health.

In other words, the wellness of both your body and your brain depends on your gut health.
