At the Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Matar\u00f3, we understand the importance of the enteric nervous system, known as the \u00absecond brain.\u00bb Chiropractic care can be key to maintaining a healthy and balanced gut.<\/p>\n

The brain in your gut<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Did you know that you have a \u00absecond brain\u00bb in your gut?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It may surprise many to learn that they have an enteric nervous system. Have you heard of this? Well... it controls and regulates the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon and has five times more neurons than the spinal cord.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

You've probably heard the admonition \u00abDeath begins in the colon.\u00bb It turns out to be sage advice. If we have a poorly cared for digestive tract, populated with opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria and fungi (in particular,\u00a0Candida albicans<\/em><\/a>) and contaminated by poorly digested food, we run the risk of it becoming clogged with toxic matter. This situation can lead to imbalances and disorders of different severity.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you've ever felt butterflies in your stomach, or a gut feeling or felt like crab cakes are \u00abturning your stomach,\u00bb you may have listened to your \u00absecond brain\u00bb in your gut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00bfHave you ever thrown up?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Then you have experienced the wisdom of your enteric nervous system firsthand. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You may not have been feeling well, but the intelligence of your nervous system<\/strong> caused those crab cakes to become projectiles, producing the necessary contractions to force them back up your esophagus. A healthy response for you even though you may not be feeling well at the time.<\/p>\n
