Alleviating Depression And Anxiety Through Your Gut

A study from Griffith University in Australian reported in Prevention Magazine analyzed the effects of taking probiotic supplements on participant’s levels of depression and anxiety. The researchers found that taking the supplement reduced the participant’s symptoms. This could be due to the level of communication between the brain and your digestive system. They also found that healthy people taking the supplement were better able to manage stressful situations. I would recommend taking a supplement that is in the 25 to 50 billion range and has a variety of bacteria strains in it. You can also add probiotic-rich foods to your diet which includes pickles, sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir and aged cheeses like cheddar and Gouda. So…take your supplement or eat up to reduce your anxiety, depression or stress.
