​​Why is gut health so crucial?​

Gut is referred to as the “Second brain of the body” because it houses the enteric nervous system and two thirds of the neurotransmitters are produced here. Therefore, the gut is considered to be the ringmaster of the human body, “which not only controls digestion but also our immunity, bowel movements, health and happiness”.
