The Gut Brain Connection and Natural Solutions

 

 

It's Time to Listen to Your Gut

 

 

 

 

What is Your Gut?

 

 

When people tell you to go with your gut feeling, you're probably not thinking that they're talking about your actual gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal tract is in charge of taking in food and digesting it to absorb nutrients. When people refer to the gut, they usually mean on immediate instinct or feeling that you get about something.

The gut is often called the second brain, which is actually part of the enteric nervous system. The ENS is two thin layers comprised of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract. This part of the nervous system helps us feel whats going on in our gut. The connection between our gut and brain functions is being studied by scientists to help us understand the importance of our gut and how to take care of it. 

 

 

The Gut-Brain Connection + Importance of Gut Health

 

 

Since the gastrointestinal tract is responsible for digestion, it's important to take care of it. A damaged gut, also known as leaky gut syndrome, can lead to skin irritation, weight changes, and so much more. The cause of leaky gut syndrome is unknown, but keeping a healthy gut will help you avoid the syndrome.

The gut can also affect your brain health. This is called the gut-brain connection

For instance, your gut is tied to stress. It is how you respond to stressful situations. It is also believed that depression starts in your gut. While the brain controls these emotions, maintaining a healthy gut will help improve your mental health. The gut-brain connection is complex, but there are ways to improve the link between your gut and brain.

 

 

Signs of Poor Gut Health

 

 

Upset Stomach

 

 

Do you get constant tummy aches? You may have an unhealthy gut. Gas, bloating, and constipation are all signs of an unhealthy gut. 

Constant Weight Change

 

Have you ever stepped on the scale and saw one number, then two weeks later saw a much higher or lower number? An imbalanced gut impairs your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and store fat. This, in turn, causes weight changes.

 

 

 

Mood Changes

 

Some levels of serotonin and dopamine are made in the gut. A leaky gut results in less of these chemicals. Without the proper levels of serotonin and dopamine, you may experience anxiety and depression.


 

Skin Problems

 

Just like there is a connection between the gut and brain, there is also a gut-skin connection. The skin uses foods to keep it healthy. So your diet influences your skin and gut. If you don’t keep a healthy gut, you may experience acne and eczema.
