The relationship between our brain and our gut is a complex and fascinating one. Research has shown that the health of our gut directly impacts the health of our brain - a concept known as the gut-brain axis. This means that the state of our gut can influence everything from our mood and behavior to our cognitive function and risk of neurological disorders.
Our gut is home to trillions of bacteria, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These bacteria play a crucial role in maintaining the health of our gut lining, which is responsible for regulating the passage of nutrients and waste into and out of our body. When the balance of bacteria in our gut is disrupted, it can lead to a condition known as leaky gut, where the gut lining becomes permeable and allows harmful substances to enter the bloodstream.
