BrianA Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 If you have the right bacteria, exercise feels better "the researchers found that two bacterial species closely tied to better performance, Eubacterium rectale and Coprococcus eutactus, produce metabolites known as fatty acid amides (FAAs). The latter stimulate receptors called CB1 endocannabinoid receptors on gut-embedded sensory nerves, which connect to the brain via the spine. The stimulation of these CB1 receptor-studded nerves causes an increase in levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine during exercise" Gut microbes can boost the motivation to exercise https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/12/221214113857.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
