Why Nervousness Causes Stomach Butterflies

Butterflies in your stomach are actually your brain stealing blood from your gut.

When you get nervous, your body activates fight or flight mode. Blood rushes away

from your digestive system straight to your muscles, preparing you to react fast.

This sudden blood shift creates that weird fluttering feeling. Your gut has over

100 million nerve cells talking directly to your brain, so emotions instantly affect your stomach.

The reduced blood flow makes your digestive muscles spasm lightly. That's why butterflies

in your stomach when nervous are actually your brain stealing blood from your gut.
