Hidden in the walls of your digestive system is the “brain in your gut”. Scientists call this little brain the Enteric Nervous System (ENS). It is revolutionizing the understanding of the links between digestion, mood, health and even the way you think!
The ENS is two thin layers of more than 100 million nerve cells lining your gastrointestinal tract from esophagus to rectum! The brain also has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach’s juices before food gets there. The connection goes both ways!
