Researchers are beginning to understand how these three critical components influence each other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Research<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before this study, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7736097\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">other research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> had confirmed a correlation between gut microbiota and bone disease. The researchers behind this particular <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutrients<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> study set out to pin down a more detailed understanding of <em>how<\/em> the two are connected. They began with the theory that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/gut-brain-connection-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gut-brain axis<\/a> (the neurological highway between belly and brain) can affect neurophysiological issues like cognition, depression, and insomnia. This was confirmed using large population datasets from the U.K. Biobank and Cognitive Genomics Consortium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/how-gut-health-impacts-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Your Gut Health Impacts Your Mental Health\u2013Here\u2019s How to Strengthen Both<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In turn, this study revealed that these aspects of brain health could impact the skeletal system in some significant ways. Insomnia, for example, could lead to unsteadiness during the day, leading to slips and falls.

And since cognitive impairments <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmcgeriatr.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12877-021-02641-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase the risk of falls<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in older people, it only makes sense that better cognition could lead to fewer bone fractures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s more to the bone-brain-gut story than these logical links, though. \u201cIt\u2019s not just the types of microbes in the gut, but what those microbes produce that can lead to better bone health,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guthealthconnection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kim Kulp<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, R.D.N., gut health expert and owner of the Gut Health Connection in the San Francisco Bay area. \u201cCertain microbes produce butyrate, which is fuel for the cells that line the colon, strengthening the intestinal barrier. This then reduces inflammation, increases nutrient absorption, and helps to regulate immune function.\u201d What does that have to do with your bones? Well, immune cells travel to the bones, where they help break down and rebuild bone tissue, Kulp explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/nutrients-for-healthy-bones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>5 Nutrients Other Than Calcium That Support Healthy Bones<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another byproduct of good gut bugs: \u201cGut microbes also produce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/vitamin-k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamin K<\/a>, which is needed to make the bone protein osteocalcin,\u201d she adds. \u201cWith less osteocalcin, bone is more prone to fractures.\u201d Again, it\u2019s a three-way street between bones, brain, and gut. \u201cOsteocalcin is secreted by the bones, and impacts brain function, while the vitamin K needed to create osteocalcin is secreted by gut microbes,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Takeaway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though they might seem like totally different bodily systems, this research reveals that the belly, brain, and bones are intimately connected. So what does that mean for everyday lifestyle choices? Kulp says a top takeaway is to eat more foods that promote a flourishing microbiome. \u201cFor better gut health, eat more plants,\u201d she says.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/05\/180515092931.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that the greatest mix of healthy gut microbes comes from including more fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes in the diet.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since different microbes have different \u201cfavorite\u201d foods, eating from a variety of plant food groups will fuel a broad spectrum of good bacteria. \u201cThis will provide you with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamins<\/a> and compounds that can reduce inflammation, protect the lining of your intestines, and lead to better bone health,\u201d she says.
