We have learned that we have only one brain that controls our behavior and nature and decides whether or not our health or degree of intelligence, but the truth is something else, as scientists believe that we have a brain.
There are those who love their "belly" rather than their mind or heart. The German popular proverb says, "You are not what you eat." These examples have nothing to do with eating, and have not moved away from scientific realities, say neuroscientists.
There is a second brain in our bodies that thinks and helps the brain located in the human head to make decisions, even in our mood and way of thinking, and can have a role even in psychological and neurological diseases. It is more correct to say, according to scientists: The human brain that we knew is the second brain, and the first brain is located in the abdomen, especially in the intestines.
In bowel meandering, which also resembles those of the brain, there are 500 million neurons, equal in number and interconnected by the cat and dog's brain. Scientists call the intestinal nervous system "the intestinal nervous system," while the brain is called the central nervous system.
Mutual effect
According to recent scientific studies, both "brain" affect each other continuously, and even the way they work is very similar, they use the same neural network, the same neurotransmitters, and even the origin of the same stem cells, according to the site "Lacomid" medical.
Michael Gershon, a professor at Columbia University in New York, says in a report carried by the European arte channel that the relationship between the central nervous system and the central gastrointestinal tract is similar to that of the table on which they work.
But Professor Michel Noelle at the University of Nice in France, in the same television report, believes that the first brain is the central intestinal system, where neurons first grew up with the development of man, when eating was the basis.
1.5 million years ago, the coup took place, when the discovery of the human "Homo erectus" - meaning the human standing on the feet - barbecue, and there was a mutation that doubled the amount of energy provided by the body not to chew food, which is 16 times, which is the energy provided by the body for the growth of the central nervous system , And to reach the human stage, "Homo Sapins" any human Homo sapiens.
Third mind
Scientists go further, talking about a third brain, the hundreds of billions of bacteria living in colonies within our intestines. Contrary to what many think, there are about a thousand species of good bacteria that affect our lives and health, live in the intestines. The report itself tells how these bacteria even affect our decision and behavior, for example, to be conservative in their behavior or nervous.
This enormous number of organisms is the largest community of organisms living in the system of my life on earth, and its number is 100 times the number of cells of the human body. Scientists depict the existence of such a large number of organisms within the intestines as if man does not live alone but carries within it a huge complex life system, thinking with him and participate in decision-making.
"We carry more bacteria in our bodies than in human DNA," says Steven Collins, a professor of bacteriology at the University of McAfrica in Canada.
These living things that make us who we are do not treat them well, as scientists see, as the human being living in cities eat fast food or even bad, and do not feed bacteria food healthy, die or get sick and disease with them; they are the most important immune system in our bodies.
Healthy Nutrition
The report recommends eating vegetables and fruits a lot that help the growth and survival of these bacteria, and stay away from canned food and not excessive intake of antibiotics that kill bacteria harmful and beneficial together.
The report showed how humans in the forests of South America and Tanzania carry six times more bacteria in their intestines than people living in large cities around the world and are in better health.
After all, are we going to change the way we treat our intestines that work throughout the day and perhaps the night, think about us, and how we host the hundreds of billions of beneficial bacteria that accompany us throughout our lives?
