The Gut Brain ConnectionInflammation in the colon from poor food choices allow "bad" bacteria to float off and take residence in other organs, causing them to be inflamed. The brain isn't equipped to deal with inflammation, and results in aging of the brain and impaired brain health. The good news: When we cut down or eliminate sugar and refined carbs, adhere to a suggested regime of vitamins, and make a few lifestyle changes; we can begin to rebuild our gut's health.
