They know how to manage stress
High levels of stress can wreak havoc on the gut. When the autonomic system sends out signals of distress, it upsets the balance within our gut microbiota. Certain neurotransmitters also kick into overdrive, affecting how effectively we absorb nutrients and how the gut’s immune system functions. Those with a healthy gut find stress-busting techniques that work for them, such as finding green space, exercising frequently, and eating mood-boosting foods.
