Elephants in the Fog review: Nepal’s Cannes Jury Prize winner is quietly powerful | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Elephants In The Fog review: When you make a conscious choice of highlighting the kinnar community in a small Nepal town for a film that talks of love and pain and desire, and it gets selected at the 79th edition Cannes film festival, the first film from Nepal to have done so, it’s tempting to look at that choice as something that may appeal to a Western palate.

Irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive dysfunction can be accompanied by a mental haze. People experiencing constipation and bloating, for example, may describe “a sense of heaviness or being weighed down both physically and mentally,” said Dr. Staller, who works at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “So many of my patients talk about problems like fatigue, brain fog and feeling sluggish,” he added. Scientists are making progress in understanding how the pathway between the brain and the digestive system influences our overall health. They call it the gut-brain axis, and it has been shown to play a big role in immune system support, anxiety, depression, metabolism and disease prevention. It can also affect mental clarity. We asked scientists and clinicians what to know about the gut and brain fog. How does the gut-brain axis work? There are thousands of fibers running from the brain to …
