Your Stomach is called as 'Second Brain'
Do you know that your body consists of two brains.........
Our brain contains millions of Neurons . Through which brain can function smoothly . But apart from the brain, there are more nervous systems in our body (a group of nerves and nerve cells that carry messages from one part of the body to another). One of these is the 'nervous system of the intestines.' In English it is called the 'enteric nervous system'. It is so complex that some scientists call it "second brain". It is not in the head, but most of it is in the stomach.
To change the food we eat, there should be good synergy between the body parts, because they have to do many things together. For this reason, our brain does not control the digestion of food itself and delegates this responsibility to the 'nervous system of the intestines'.
Brain available inside the stomach is more complicated and powerful than a real brain.
The nervous system of the intestines is not as complicated as the brain, yet it is very complex. It is estimated that there are about 20 to 600 million nerve cells in the 'intestinal nervous system' of humans. This tricky network of nerve cells occurs in our digestive system. Scientists believe that the work that is done in the 'nervous system of the intestines', if our brain had to do those things, it would have required many nerves.
'Second Brain' is Intelligent - Sometimes Can take decisions on its own.
The 'nervous system of the intestines' does most of its work on its own, yet it is constantly in contact with the brain. For example, it controls the amount of hormones that tell the brain when and how much we should eat. When the stomach is full, the nerve cells of the 'intestinal nervous system' signal it to the brain.
For example, did you ever feel that eating something fried made your mood or mood swell? Scientists say that this happens when the 'nervous system of the intestines' signals your brain to be happy, which gradually improves your mood. Perhaps this is why I feel like eating something good when stressed. Scientists are discovering some techniques, so that the 'nervous system of the intestines' somehow signals the brain to be happy. In this way, depression can be treated.
Scientists are stunned by the way the 'nervous system of the intestines' works. It is so complicated that scientists still have not fully understood it. The next time you sit down to eat, think about what is going to happen in your digestive system — things will be monitored, information will be gathered, synergy will be established and many organs will interact with each other! What a wonderful "second brain"
