The microbiome and our immune system talk to each other every moment of our lives.
The digestive system is composed of the gastrointestinal tract which is lined with living microorganisms.
The microorganisms are collectively referred to as;
THE GUT ‘MICROBIOME’
The gut (our stomach) houses hundreds of species of bacteria’s, good and bad.
Though some can be harmful, many are incredibly beneficial and are important for our health!
If the microbiome is out of balance, the immune system releases various antimicrobial peptides to help balance things out.
OR, if everything is in good shape, the microbiome sends messages to calm our immune system so that it uses our valuable energy in other places.
“Once you understand that whatever affects your gut affects your brain and vice versa, you'll look at the health of your gut in a whole different light”.
The brain & the gut are connected by the vagus nerve, (The vagus nerve is like a communication highway between your brain and different parts of your body. It helps control things your body does automatically, such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion).
The gut produces as much as 60%-90% of neurotransmitters involved in mental wellness. Including dopamine and serotonin.
95% of serotonin, (which is your body's happy mood chemical), Is produced in your GUT!
Disrupted gut microbiome Increases the risk of developing health issues. Such as;
-Mental health problems, like anxiety & depression.
- Digestive issues like bloating, constipation, gas.
- Weak immune system, making the body more available to diseases, illnesses and lead to long term conditions.
- Inflammation
- Hinder absorption of important nutrients, which can lead to deficiencies.
