Goodday steemit, over the past year or so I've started learning about gut bacteria and the gut biom brain connection.
There are trillions of bacteria in your gut, and we've recently learned that this has a big impact on health and mood.
The important thing is to have a balanced gut. Good bacteria can help aid in digestion, vitamin manufacturment, and strengthening the immune system.
-Gut flora (gut microbiota, or gastrointestinal microbiota) is the complex community of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans and other animals, including insects.
Here's how to know if you might be suffering from an unbalanced gut (which affects a lot of people in the west because of food qualities and standards):
Gas, Bloating, Acid reflux, Diarrhea, Constipation, IBS, Depression, Anxiety, Brain fog, OCD, Autism
Previous use of antibiotis (which devastate the gut biom)
Chronic stress
Skin condition
