The Intestines: Your Body's Second Brain

Dr Joseph Mercola reminds us:

"A well-functioning intestine equals an effective immune system, enabling you to live optimally and with pep.

Eighty percent of your immune system is in the intestines. Plus, it's the nutritional uptake center of your body. Keeping it healthy will keep you healthy!

Your intestinal nervous system contains just as many neurons as the nervous system in the spinal cord. Because it uses these to communicate with the cells in your body, some people call it your "body's second brain". It truly has great impact on how the rest of your body functions.

The process of digestion involves performing 28,000 different chemical reactions -- making it critically important for you to support your intestinal health and help it usher toxins out of your system."
