How Your Gut Bacteria & Mitochondria Work Together to Prevent Alzheimers

Over the years, as more information around the Gut and its inter-workings has come to light, the term “Second Brain” has become a popular word to describe it.

And if you’re wondering how the hell the smelliest place on earth could be coined our “Second Brain”, it was mainly due to the surprising discovery that minus the Brain, the Gut is the home of the most neurons compared to any other area in the body. Indicating that there may be much more cross-talk between these two regions than previously thought, and indeed there was….

However, as the scientific community peeled back the onion of this interaction, the most influential signals back (from the Gut to the Brain) did not seem to be coming from the Gut cells themselves, instead they came from the trillions of micro-organisms living within the intestinal lining.

Signals which are proving to be critical for not only our day-to-day cognitive function, but the preservation of our Brain itself, over the long run. Signals, which you just so happen to have the power to influence, via the lifestyle you live!
