Gut health is key to supporting overall wellness and plays a key role in mental health. More than 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced in the gut, alongside other key neurotransmitters, chemical messengers used by the nervous system to support our mood and mental wellbeing.
Thus, healthy digestion supports a healthy mind (and vice versa). But, eating the fibre, vegetables, fruits and fatty acids to support a healthy gut can be difficult and getting our children to eat gut-friendly foods can be particularly challenging.
