The recent awareness about the gut microbiome has raised several questions, issues and interests throughout the healthcare industry as well as the consumer industry. We have already discussed what gut microbiome actually is in our previous post and in this article; we are going to explain how our gut affects our heart and brain.
The Gut and our heart
The most important factor that affects your gut is your diet. A change in your diet will easily affect the microbiome and as a result, this will impact your body and health. Unhealthy gut is known to influence diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation and factors related closely to cardiovascular risk. This was recently published by the Harvard Health. However, on the surface it is quite simple. The healthier your gut, the heathier your heart and vice versa.
Digging deep into this strand of information reveals the fact that the gut microbiota affects your obesity, cholesterol levels, inflammation, trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), nutrient deficiency etc.
The Gut and our Brain
Whether you believe or not, gut has profound impact on the brain. The gastrointestinal system and brain are closely connected. Our ‘two brains’ play a crucial role in maintaining our state of well-being. Anxiety, stress and depression make the gastrointestinal problems much worse and vice versa. Choosing nutritious food also helps in having a good mood and it promotes concentration at the same time. Gut problems or imbalance will also affect your ability to remember things, might lead to frequent loss of temper, and cause indecisiveness along with various other cognitive limitations.
Simply put, these stand as basic foundational guides on the relationship between your gut, your heart, and your brain.
Thank you for reading. We wish you the best of health.
