Can The Gut Actually Make You Happier?

Ever felt butterflies in your stomach when you're happy or the anxiety during a presentation? This could be your gut telling you something. Your gut has a direct effect on the way you think and feel.

The gut is responsible to put our body into working order. Other than breaking down the food we eat, our gut also absorbs nutrients to ensure our body functions efficiently. You might wonder how the bacteria in our gut can have an impact on our mood and feelings. Many experts believe there’s a strong connection between your gut, which refers to your gastrointestinal tract, and your brain. 

This connection is called the gut-brain axis (GBA). It links your central nervous system, which includes your brain and spinal cord, to your gastrointestinal tract. How exactly does it work?  The gut has millions of neurons that are connected to the brain through the nervous system. In other words, when your gut is happy, the nerves send information to the brain, creating a positive mood.

Conversely, the more severe the gut trouble, the more negative our mood becomes. Other than the gut-brain connection, your gut bacteria actually affects your overall mood as well! And many clinical research has proven that probiotics and prebiotics help flourish these friendly bacteria in your gut.

Can it really? Yes!

Probiotic Regulate The Happy Hormone

Known as the happy hormone, Serotonin is actually produced in the gastrointestinal tract. So when your body has enough serotonin, it helps regulate mood and boost happiness.

So how do we get more of this happy hormone to nourish your gut? 

Probiotics help produce and regulate serotonin. It is known to promote a well-balanced gut flora which then increases the production of serotonin production in the gut. But take note that not ALL probiotics help regulate this happy hormone. Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium bacteria have been found to be most helpful for mood-boosting effects. Now the big question is, where can I get probiotics with these specific strains?
