What are the most vital nutrients needed when supplementing in pregnancy and why?
Bacteria communicate electrically, just like brain neurons with long-range signalling capacity, according to a recent study.
For the first time, researchers have shown in an experimental model that commensal bacteria may affect hunger and satiety through their influence on gut-brain signals and activation of appetite-regulated brain neurons.
Did you know that exercising in the heat causes digestive stress? As a result, the walls of the intestines become weaker, allowing harmful bacteria from the digestive tract to leak into the bloodstream.
