Did you know strength training directly boosts serotonin levels in the gut?
In case you’re not aware, serotonin is responsible for enhancing mood, reducing anxiety, and contributing to overall mental well-being.
Strength training stimulates the release of myokines, proteins that have anti-inflammatory effects that fight Alzheimer’s and depression having a positive influence on brain function.
Did you know that strength training also promotes a healthy gut microbiome by enhancing gut motility and reducing inflammation, which is needed for serotonin production.
Since 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut, the more gut health is improved through strength training the easier facilitation of serotonin there will be.
Do you know what else effects mental health? FOOD!!
When we eat a healthy diet our blood sugar stays level which has a positive effect on mood.
Our gut sends messages to our brain via the vagus nerve, basically, you eat shit ya get shitty messages, you eat eat well you get positive messages.
What’s even worse when you eat sugar your brain craves more and more of it, then ya got shitty message on top of shitty message until it becomes a fuckin mess.
Is that what you want, a fuckin mess?
