There is emerging scientific evidence about gut microflora and its connection to our brains. Every chemical in our brain was once on our fork. The brain-gut axis is a form of communication between the central nervous system and the gut. Research is also demonstrating the important role of the gut microbiome and the microbes residing in our gut - the ability to influence emotions such as anxiety, mood, pain, and cognition.
This talk will go over 6 top food recommendations to improve gut microbiome (green leafy vegetables, antioxidant-rich berries, probiotics, healthy fats and Omega 3, herbs and spices, and hydration).
