When you feel strong emotions like anxiety or stress, it can affect your stomach. Sometimes, your stomach might feel upset, and you might even feel pain or discomfort.

But here’s the interesting part: It’s not in your head! Your emotions can actually change how your tummy works and vice versa. New research shows that if your stomach isn’t feeling great, it can make you feel down or worried.”

Try meditation, breathing exercises, or your favorite herbal tea before conventional medicine if you’re having abdominal issues during a stressful time.

A healthy gut is a healthy mind. To keep yourself mentally and physically strong, make sure your gut microbiome, the world of microorganisms in your GI system that affect the entire body, is getting what it needs — a variety of plant fibers, probiotics, and prebiotics — to work at its best. Regularly eat whole grains, beans, fermented foods, vegetables, and fruits for a good gut and mind. And try to relax.
