Did you know that the contents of your plate affect your psyche?
Surely you are familiar with the phrase "you are what you eat". Did you know that it dates from 1825 year? From the book "The Physiology of Taste" by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. It is light, funny and a story full of anecdotes about culinary culture - an area in which the French have been leading the way for centuries. "Tell me what you eat and I will tell you who you are" means that if you want to be healthy and feel great you must eat good food.
Looking at today a food market that's flooded with processed junk food, drive-through restaurants, artificial drinks, full of sugar, chemicals and extra calories ... it should come as no surprise that many people are tired, overweight and have emotional problems. There are tons of studies that show a strong correlation between what we eat and what we feel. Your food choices can have a huge impact on your mental health and overall health.
You are probably wondering how it connects?
It all starts in the brains ( plural is not a mistake) - you have them two ! Of course, you have one brain in your head that is the main control center for everything you think and do. But did you know there is a second "brain " in the belly? Both brains were made of the same tissue when they developed in the womb and are connected by a nerve. This nerve (vagus nerve) that connects the brain to the gut allows them to communicate. It's common knowledge in the scientific world that gut bacteria use this nerve to send information to the brain.
