Known as our "second brain" with as many neurons, our intestines are critical to a healthy-functioning body. Their most obvious job, perhaps, is to absorb and process nutrition and then rid the body of what it doesn't need. Regular elimination (a form of detoxification), at least once a day and preferably more, not only keeps the intestines healthy but keeps us from becoming tired and stuck.
Our gut is also where our intuition and body act in concert to communicate important information. The heart and the gut often prove wiser than the mind in helping us to find answers to life's most difficult questions.
