Chances are you've heard the term, "trust your gut." But did you know that your gut actually has a mind of its own? How about the fact that you're hosting billions of little organisms in your digestive tract that rely on YOU to feed them? Did you know that this massive colony within you could impact disease risk, skin health and even your mood?
Join us for this interesting but not-too-scientific look at how your gut health impacts your overall health in ways you probably didn't realize. We'll discuss how dietary choices and exercise habits can positively or negatively influence the maintenance of your gut microbiota. Listen up for some foods that you might consider including more often in order to keep those buggies going strong!
