Two brains
We have two brains at play. One is our brain and the other is our gut. We call our gut as our second brain.
An extensive network of neurons , a highway of chemicals & hormones constantly provide feedback about how hungry we are, whether or not we’re experiencing stress, or if we’ve ingested a disease-causing microbe etc to our brain. This information superhighway is called the brain-gut axis and it provides constant updates on the state of affairs at two ends. No wonder it is called a gut-feel. You literally feel it!
The beauty is closing one brain opens the other. This is the secret of healthy brains. No books will tell you this! Control your gut with healthy food and you will see that your information processing brain flourishes and the opposite is also true. Keep feeding junk to your stomach and your quality of thinking comes down. Check it out for yourself!
