Dear Yogi,

Did you know that your gut is often referred to as your "second brain"? The gut-brain connection is a fascinating and increasingly recognised aspect of our health. This connection is due to the enteric nervous system, a complex network of neurons that line our digestive tract, capable of operating independently of the brain.

Research has shown that the state of our gut can influence our mental and emotional wellbeing. For example, having a good balance of healthy gut bacteria can positively affect the vagus nerve and contribute to better brain health. 

Understanding this connection can help us make informed choices that support us both physically and mentally. Explore more with our articles below.

Love,

The EkhartYoga team.
