If you're feeling a little down today, maybe your gut needs some love? Our bodies are so intelligent. You may think our brains are doing most of the work, but this goes to show there's a lot more to it!
"Your gut has capabilities that surpass all your other organs and even rival your brain. It has it's own nervous system, known as the enteric nervous system, or ENS, and is often referred to in the media as the "second brain." This second brain is made up of 50-100 million nerve cells, as many as are contained in your spinal cord."
