There's a brain in your gut!

A new study from UCLA and Danone shows that daily supplements of a fermented milk product may influence the parts of the brain linked to emotion and sensation. So yes, the gut-brain axis is alive and well, with science now confirming what many people understand intuitively ... 

“I knew in my guts it was wrong” 
“Just trust that gut-feeling”
“My insides were in knots”
“That was my gut-reaction!”

and so on ... our emotions, our response to stress, our initial impressions of an idea, a person or an action are deep-seated and gut-connected. There is indeed a brain in our guts, with connections and receptors that are very like those in our “head brain”. What’s more, this latest study shows that our gut brain is influenced by the health and composition of the gut microbiota.

The research is certainly piling up in support. This is the new frontier and natural and orthodox medicine actually seem to agree that the gut is the seat of optimal physical and mental health. So get with the probiotic program - ensure your regular daily intake of a premium product for emotional balance, stress-reduction and overall wellbeing! So very easy - Zoloft sales might never be the same again!
