How to Create Happiness everyday through your digestive system (gut)

Digestive system

Levels of serotonin, the major chemical (‘happiness hormone’), linked to normal functioning of adult brain in the regulation of mood and emotion.

Serotonin is primarily found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, platelets, and in the central nervous system (CNS) of animals including humans.

Now point to be note, approximately 90% of the human body's total serotonin is located in the in the gut (alimentary canal).

The primary ingredient of this most clinically effective anti-depressants get naturally created in the intestines, not in the brain.

According to the neuroscientist Serotonin is then transformed by the liver to the central nervous system, and through CNS a feeling of joy and happiness throughout the body.

As neuroscience, the bacteria in the gut, known as gut flora or pro-biotic, which play an important role in the bi-directional communication between the gut and the central nervous system (CNS) in brain.

Gut flora consists of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts.

Probiotic bacteria have the potential to alter brain neurochemistry and treat anxiety and depression-related disorders, according to Dr Javier Bravo, and Professor John Cryan at the Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre in University College Cork.

Outside factors, in addition to what we eat, affect bacteria balance (gut flora).

Gut is only happy when we’re feeding it the right food. So we must think every time what we are putting inside our mouth.
