Your Gut Has a Mind of its Own
Your gut houses trillions of bacteria, yeast, fungi, and other microorganisms. According to the latest estimate, human cells make up only 43 percent of the body's total cell count. The rest are microscopic colonists. In a real sense, you're more microbe than human.
Emerging science shows a connection between the microbiome in the gut and your brain. In fact, many experts call the microbiome a second “brain.”
So, your collective microbes may have more influence on your diet, energy levels, immune health, and overall health than previous thought.
See what the newest science says about the brain-gut connection.
