You are what you eat! Gut Brain.

You are what you eat? How? Read below 

Recent scientific research is beginning to form a new understanding of how our bodies work, and part of this is that we have three ‘brains’.  This is not new. Eastern traditions such as Ayurvedic and Yoga have known this for years, and it may be known as body, soul, and spirit.

The gut is where we base our instinct and intuition — unselfconscious, immediate, practical and direct. It has more neurones than the spinal cord. It produces large amounts of the hormone cortisol, which is released during stressful periods to regulate metabolism, control blood pressure, and assist with memory formulation.  This ‘brain’ is also responsible for processing information during sleep.  Large amounts of serotonin is produced in the gut. Our core identity lies here – what is me, what is not me? 

The gut brain It is responsible for safety and protection and is extremely important in upholding our immune system.  It takes care of self-preservation, fear, anxiety, mobility and action.

To summarise the gut: “It takes guts”, “Let’s do it”.

So take care of your gut by eating healthy. 

You are what you eat!
