Most of the time, we’re rushing to fix the symptoms (also using natural options) but often, without coming back to the root cause of the problem. This is a real issue. Think about it twice.

 

Symptoms aren’t bad. Symptoms are body signals, it’s your body speaking to you, telling you there is something going wrong. Suppressing symptoms (even with natural remedies) is like hiding the warning sign on the road but still not fixing the whole on the road: a total non-sense ! On the short term, it may lower the pain, provide some comfort or relief, give the impression the cause has been fixed as well. But the problems is, the body is really trying to make its best and continues taking in, pilling up more toxins, compensating the disfunctionning organs and we end up accumulating disfunctionning organs, systems within the body which on the long term may lead to disease and heavier problems !

 

Basically, we understood that the body as a huge resiliency but at some point he has it’s limit. The body is putting warning signs all over but if we are too numb to listen nothing will really change. When considering this gut-brain connection, work has to be done on both sides : gut and brain as both, are producing hormones and neurotransmitters to flood the whole body. A brain constantly triggered and producing too much stress hormones can irritate the gut on the long-term and stress reduction techniques or psychological work may help to lower the stress levels within the brain and therefore, within the gut and the whole body. But as we mentioned it, it’s not a one way high way. Information is circulating both ways between brain and gut and if you’re ingesting the wrong foods, in a way, you’re putting the same levels of stress on your gut which causes them to release in turn their stress hormones which causes you to feel mentally and physically stressed only because of something you ate.

 

And now, OK. I know. It is not easy at all because our food chain has been transformed in such unhealthy production machine that it makes it harder to feed ourselves with proper healthy, nutrient-rich foods. The real food our beautiful belly is waiting for !!! I know, society sucks and brought on our plates (not all of us of course and luckily!) the worse food we can imagine ! We are picking up the fruits of all this right now : the industrial agriculture revolution has been a disaster for human health and mental health.

 

But here is a thought : When we realise how much mental health and well-being of society depends on it. When we wake up on how many health related problems, can be avoided via healthy nutrition and healthy gut, we will have the full potential to change into a better version of ourselves. A more energized one, a more balanced one, a more focused one. Simply put a more happy one.
