Going to the bathroom is not just a routine… it’s more connected to your mind than you might think.
A study from the Institute for Systems Biology, with more than 1,400 adults, found that the frequency of bowel movements is related to metabolism and overall well-being.
The gut microbiota takes part in digestion and also communicates with the brain through the so-called gut-brain axis, a link that science has associated with mood and mental health.
When intestinal transit is not regular, this balance can be altered, affecting the activity of these bacteria and the compounds they produce, some of which are related to brain functions.
So now you know, what happens in the gut can influence how we feel more than we think.
