Wellness: The gut-healing smoothie I now start every morning with

Gut health is a bit of a buzzword of late.

And for good reason. In fact, so important is your gut and the unique composition of bacteria in there for your overall health and wellness, that scientists are now calling it "our second brain." And recent studies have revealed that this ‘second brain’ in our bellies goes far beyond just processing the food we eat. 

Aside from the digestive process, the enteric nervous system in the gut partly determines our mood, and that our emotional well-being relies in part on the messages the belly sends to the brain.  In fact, over 90 percent of the body’s serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter which regulates mood, is found in the gut. 

What this means, guys, is that we should be paying close attention to our guts and consume foods that support this unique collection of bacteria, not break it down and destroys it. And it doesn't have to be complicated either – for instance, starting your day with this gut health friendly smoothie will go a long way: For the recipe for the ultimate Gut Health Smoothie, head over to Helloglow.com
