What exactly is gut health?
到底什么是肠道健康？
Before we can talk about gut health, we first need to define what a gut is.
在谈论肠道健康之前，我们首先需要定义什么是肠道。
Basically, it's your small and large intestines, the main components of the digestive system responsible for metabolizing and absorbing nutrients from the food you eat, whether a Big Mac burger, organic apple, or Dirty Martini.
倡导基本包括小肠和大肠，是消化系统的主要组成部分，负责代谢和吸收食物中的营养，无论是巨无霸汉堡、有机苹果还是脏马提尼。
In the gut lives trillions of microorganisms. Their activities impact hormone production, mental health, physical performance, and how you feel overall.
肠道内生活着数万亿微生物。他们的活动会影响激素的产生、心理健康、体能以及整体感觉。
They also help collect and package waste to be excreted from your body.
它们还有助于收集和打包废物，以便从体内排出。
If you have a leaky gut, your intestinal lining is more permeable than normal.
如果你有肠漏症，你的肠道内壁比正常的内壁更具渗透性。
It allows substances like toxins and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream.
它允许毒素和未消化的食物颗粒等物质进入血液。
This can trigger inflammation, digestive problems and chronic health concerns. It can also directly impact your brain.
这可能会引发炎症、消化问题和慢性健康问题，还可以直接影响大脑的功能。
Researchers at Harvard found that the microbiome in your gut can affect cognitive function.
哈佛大学的研究人员发现肠道中的微生物组可以影响认知功能。
People with gut profiles that contain more inflammation causing bacteria and fewer fiber digesting bacteria had less frequent bowel movements and poorer cognitive function.
肠道内含有较多引起炎症的细菌和较少纤维消化细菌，排便频率较低，认知功能较差。
That is how often you go to the bathroom, impacts brain performance.
你上厕所的频率会影响大脑的功能。
So the next time you think about gut health, remember that it's not just about digestion.
因此，下次考虑肠道健康时，请记住，这不仅仅是消化问题。
It could also have a significant influence on your brain's performance and overall well-being.
它还可能对大脑功能和整体健康产生重大影响。
