What is a Gut Lover?

A ‘gut feeling’ isn’t just a saying; your gut truly is linked to your brain and emotions. A Gut Lover provides fibre to help your gut thrive and as a result, positively impacts your mood.

A healthy gut contains a variety of tiny organisms (including the well-known good gut bacteria), called the gut microbiota. These gut microbes can create neurotransmitters (brain messenger chemicals) and communicate with the brain – a link known as the gut-brain axis. A healthy diet directly influences the gut microbiota, and as a result, affects the messages sent to the brain.

Treat your gut to fibre from fruit, vegetables and nuts, and your mind will benefit too.
