3. Food Poisoning

Food poisoning is a sign of an abundance of bad bacteria introduced to your system by an outside source. Once you’ve let the illness run its course, work to rehydrate yourself and introduce probiotic supplements and probiotic-rich foods into your diet immediately. Not only will you recover faster, but the probiotics will help fend off bacterial illnesses in the future.

4. Mood disorders

Did you know that scientists estimate between 85-95% of your body’s total serotonin levels are produced in the stomach, not the brain? Serotonin is the brain’s happy hormone, and a lack of serotonin is directly tied to a variety of mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

It’s been proven by several scientific studies that gut health has a direct impact on the function of your brain’s neurotransmitters.

B vitamin deficiency, which can also result from poor intestinal function, is also linked to mood disorders. Consider adding a B-complex supplement to your routine as well.
