Health Science

Health science is the discipline of applied science which deals with human and animal health. There are two parts to health science: the study, research, and knowledge of health and the application of that knowledge to improve health, cure diseases, and understanding how humans and animals function.

For years, scientists have known about the remarkable existence of another brain within our bodies: our gut. Our stomach functions totally independently and does far more than just digestion. It holds a spectacular colony of one hundred thousand billion bacteria that even impact our personalities. Some diseases of the brain, like Parkinson's, may stem from the degeneration of intestinal neurons.
