Most people don’t realise just how important our Gut is to our health and wellbeing. 80% of our immune system is based there and Obesity studies now focus on the Gut as this is where our metabolism starts.
The Gut plays a role in mood, health and depression, and it has been stated that approximately 80% of serotonin is found in it.
Gut bacteria live on what we eat and certain foods spawn ‘bad’ bacteria, whereas others lead to beneficial anti-inflammatory bacteria in the gut, so eliminating foods that cause inflammation is a good step.
Do not underestimate the importance of Gut health!
