gut.

Everyday I learn.

Open to new ideas, listening to the ideas of others, reading, conversations and mostly inner study. Learning what I already knew, but got too busy, distracted or too stuck to remember.

Yesterday I learned something new, from a good friend, that I did not know. 90% of serotonin is produced in our gut! Whoa. Most of you know that serotonin is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness as well as impacting our entire being related to sleeping, digestion and overall feelings of vitality. What you may not have known, like me, is that while there are many factors that help in serotonin production, good gut health is a big one.

We know that yoga (breathing, moving, arms over the head, elevating heart rate, bending, stretching, etc) helps with serotonin production and now we can be aware that what we consume (eat, drink) also is an important factor.

Now we know we can eat healthy foods that will help with good gut health and serotonin production in the gut. Most of these foods are whole, all-natural, unprocessed foods like nuts, seeds, eggs, pineapple, salmon and turkey to list a few.

The Experience begins this Sunday (it’s not too late to register) and is a great time to improve your gut health and increase levels of serotonin in your body - helping to elevate your state:) Just one more plug for something I really believe in!

Here is a link to a good article on serotonin if you are interested in more information :)
