The gut or “second brain” can function on its own and communicate with your real brain. They are mainly connected in two ways: ✌

– ⛓ Physically: The vagus nerve, which controls messages to the gut and to the heart, lungs and other vital organs, is the gut’s direct connection to the brain.

– 🧪 Chemically: The gut also connects to the brain through chemicals such as hormones and neurotransmitters that send messages.

Chemical messages that pass between the gut and the brain can be affected by bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in the gut. 📯

Bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live in the gut can be beneficial, harmless, or harmful. 😷

So this means that to have a good diet you need to have good thoughts in your brain. 💪
