Mindful Facts
-
Gut Feelings
The gut contains a vast network of neurons, often called the "second brain." This is why emotions can manifest as physical sensations in the stomach
-
Mood Influences
About 90% of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well-being, is produced in the gut. This highlights how gut health can influence mood and mental health.
-
Microbiome Impact
The gut microbiome, which comprises trillions of bacteria, can affect mental health. A diverse microbiome is linked to lower levels of anxiety and depression.
-
Stress and Digestion
Stress can disrupt digestive processes, leading to issues such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Conversely, digestive problems can increase stress levels.
-
Dietary Choices
Consuming a diet rich in probiotics (like yogurt and fermented foods) can promote a healthy gut microbiome and potentially improve mental health outcomes.
-
Inflammation Connection
Inflammation in the body, often linked to poor gut health, has been associated with mental health disorders like depression.
-
Exercise Effects
Physical activity benefits both gut health and mental health by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.
-
Omega –3 Fatty Acids
Found in foods such as fish, flaxseeds and walnuts. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for brain health and can reduce the risk of depression and anxiety.
-
Hydration
Dehydration can affect cognitive function and mood. Water intake is essential for maintaining metal clairy and emotional stability.
-
Mindful Eating
Practising mindfulness while eating being aware and present of what, how and why you eat can improve the relationship with food and can encourage healthier choices.
