Anyone who has felt butterflies in their stomach before a big event or had rumblings and pain in their belly before a test or interview realizes that the gut and brain are in constant bi-directional communication. The constant stress of our fast-paced lives contributes to overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates the primitive but necessary fight or flight response. While the sympathetic tone is increased by our habitual patterns, the activity of our parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for rest, digestion, and reproduction, is reduced.
