Our belly and brain share a deep connection: Nutritionist Munmun Ganeriwal

How we feel is connected to what we eat to a great extent. Nutritionist Munmun Ganeriwal in a conversation with HT Digital talked about this unique connection between our belly and brain and how they interact through billions of gut microbes that live inside our gut. Munmun Ganeriwal's upcoming book Yuktahaar: The Belly And The Brain Diet is about improving the balance and diversity of this gut microbiome Explaining how these microbes while living inside our belly affect our emotions and behaviours, the nutritionist said that the food we eat and the nutrition that we give to ourselves is the same food that the microbes are also eating. Talking about the microbial community that resides inside our gut and their role in overall health, Ganeriwal says, "we have trillions of microbes living inside our gut, so we need to work on the health of these microbial community that lives inside us and once we do that we benefit in multiple ways." Ganeriwal's upcoming book Yuktahaar: The Belly And The Brain Diet is about improving the balance and diversity of this gut microbiome.
