WHAT IS OUR SECOND BRAIN?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all know where our 'first' brain is... but what about the second?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The gut is often referred to as the 'second' brain - but what if we were all wrong & we should all be thinking about our gut as the first brain & our head as our second brain?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@Vanessakimbell always refers to the gut as our first brain - our primary brain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've evolved microbially & science is now at a point that we can actually test our gut health (such as @atlasbiomed tests) & see how what we eat can change our microbiome and ultimately our mental health. (Something Vanessa is delving much deeper into with her studies & research in her PhD for bread & digestion.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's exciting, it's interesting. Before long, science might allow us to know more about our mind & gut than ever before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you'd love to learn sourdough & long fermentation but would also love to chat with others about our body and mind, have a look at:

SUNDAY SOURDOUGH READING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Sunday's read is something a little different and not a book from the library! It is a magazine featuring @vanessakimbell herself alongside Professor @tim.spector and Dr Nigel Field. Have you managed to get hold of a copy yet?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"The microbiome is having its moment."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This feature is such an inspiring and interesting read as we see the world talking more and more about the importance of our gut health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if our gut microbiome, rather than calories, carbs and fats, is the biggest influence on our weight? What effect does bread have on the gut microbiome and your mental health? Might our gut health now be determined by our gut health as a baby?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to @wilkinsonalice for the feature. ❤ If you want to read the article, you can currently find the magazine in The Sourdough School library or you can find it in a Waitrose.
