Nervous System

The digestive system plays a crucial role in supporting the nervous system's healthy function by breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized by the body, including the brain. Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids are essential for producing neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. Additionally, the gut is home to a complex network of nerves which communicates with the central nervous system and influences various bodily functions, including mood, behavior, and cognitive processes.
