The gut is also known as our second brain. Because trillions of neurons send signals to our brains. That's why we call it a 'Gut feeling'.
The gut-brain axis emphasizes the importance of gut health. This bidirectional communication system between the gut and brain influences mood, stress responses, and cognitive function.
A healthy gut can help maintain mental clarity and emotional stability. Now studies show that food can influence our emotional well-being too.
Gut imbalances may contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues.
