Self-care starts with the gut-brain axis. Don’t miss this unique chance to turbocharge your gut health and boost your cognitive performance with the awesome uber-nerds over at Heights, the braincare experts.
The brain is famously the captain of the human body. It is responsible for vital functions like breathing, heartbeat and blood pressure. It is in charge of memory, movement, speech, and vision too.
In the meantime, the gut takes care of less sexy stuff like sensing and indicating hunger, turning on and off digestive juices, and getting rid of waste. Perhaps more amazingly, it’s home to trillions of bacteria that take care of your gut lining, support immune health and talk to your brain.
The gut-brain axis is a critical communication route that helps turn on and off inflammation and even influences stress resilience, mood, and anxiety
Key players in this relationship are magical molecules called short-chain fatty acids, which are produced by gut bacteria from dietary fibre. These chemicals help maintain the gut lining, encourage the production of localised neurotransmitters and hormones like serotonin and GABA, and even combat inflammation.
We could wax lyrical about the majestic beauty of the gut-brain connection for days, if not months… But that could get boring very quickly, so instead, we’re giving you the chance to win a free brain and gut makeover because, let’s face it, that’s a lot more fun!
