While many conscientious eaters think constantly about the food we’re eating — how it will affect our hearts, the environment, and most of all, our waistlines — we rarely think about its impact on our brains, mood, and energy levels.
But the gut and the brain are in constant two-way communication, and the health of one directly influences the health of the other.
More specifically, when inflammation is present in the gut, less energy is available to the brain and body. That’s because low-grade inflammation flips off a metabolic switch in the chemical pathway that produces energy.
The result is not only lower energy but an increase in free radicals that damage brain tissue.
Foods that can cause anxiety and fatigue
Understanding which foods contribute to chronic inflammation of the gut and brain is a powerful step in managing your mood and energy levels.
