Our stomachs - the future of Medicine

Before i start let me clarify, I'm no doctor, I don't work in pharma or have anything related to the latest in terms of medicine or are even familiar with today's research.

But, from personal observations and experience, I think that our stomachs or gut probably have to do more with our over well being that many other organs. Most times when we are sick, we think of the discomfort we experience as the symptom but the more and more i think (with my sample size of 1 - myself) I think the stomach is more intertwined with the rest of our body and other organs than we give it credit to.

Some of the most important body functions are regulated by our guts. We absorb energy through the food we eat, we hydrate ourselves, our sleep is very dependant on the stomach, and if you don't believe so, try having a massive meal and then try to sleep and have a great night rest.

I foresee a future where gut health and how to fight many sickness will happen by utilizing gut health as a mechanism to regulate our bodies and helping our bodies heal themselves. I believe that we will have different ways to measure and track what goes on in our stomach and use that information to improve health conditions. 

Even longevity is probably determined or heavily influenced by this and I reckon that many new theories and actions one can take to live longer will be determined by our stomachs.

So, thinking of all this, it's time for me to go eat some tacos and salsa!
