The unbelievable: cell types, active substances and receptors are the same as in our brain. The close connection between the brain and intestines and its function as the most important digestive organ make the intestines so sensitive to stress of all kinds – psychological, physical or even medical through certain medications.
Food affects our mood
But not only the intestine is decisive for our mental health. Certain foods send out messenger substances or hormones, which in turn are reflected in our mood. Learn more about the five most important foods for strong nerves in the video.
