Intestinal health crisis on World Intestinal Health Day

The intestine is not only responsible for digestion: besides the brain, the intestine is the most sensitive and delicate organ of the human body and can be called the second brain. There are more than 1 100 million neurons in the reticular nerve bundle as thin as cicada's wing, which can operate independently, judge independently and give orders. If there is a disease in the intestine, it will inevitably bring bad influence to the brain. Intestine is also an important immune organ of human body. Where there is mucous membrane, there will be lymphoid tissue. The intestinal tract has the largest surface area and the most contact with foreign bacteria, so the lymphoid tissue is the most developed. 70%-80% of the immune cells in the human body gather together to fight against the bacteria and viruses that invade one after another.
