Your body contains a separate nervous system that is so complex it has been dubbed the second brain. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the reflexes of the gastrointestinal system.

It comprises an estimated 500 million neurons – about five times as many as in the brain of a rat – and is around 9 metres long, stretching from your oesophagus to your anus. It is this brain that could be responsible for your craving under stress for crisps, chocolate and biscuits
