Probiotics helping to aid stress relief
Hey everyone!
Today we decided to dive head first into sharing with you some of the true science that backs why we included the specific probiotic strains in the Uplift Food Daily Uplifter that you get to reap the benefits of every time you consume your delicious gut healthy powder!
As new evidence emerges, we are learning more and more about the two-way connection between the brain, and what many are calling ‘the second brain,’ aka - our gut.
As promised, we want to keep you, our Uplifters, in the know about the evidence surrounding this connection!
Not only are researchers investigating how the food we eat can impact the health of our digestive system, but now researchers are learning the tiny microbiome living in our digestive tract are communicating with our brain and showing a positive impact on our behaviour and response to stress!
Although every individual has a unique make up of microbiota in their digestive tract, seeing an overall decrease in diversity of microbiota can lead to a reduced brain-gut axis connection and ultimately poorer health.
The impact the gut microbiome has on our behaviour comes from making changes to our diets including the addition of probiotics, such as those in the Daily Uplifter into your daily routine.
Probiotics assist in improving the living strains of bacteria in your gut, ensuring there’s plenty of diversity. They have also been found to reduce the stress hormone corticosterone, decreasing anxious behaviours and levels of stress.
To ensure you’re feeling your best from the inside out, our signature Daily Uplifter psychobiotic powder comes equiped with quality probiotic strains so that you can feel confident you’re getting the ingredients you need, which are supported by science, to ensure the best possible relationship between your gut, your brain, and ultimately your mood.
Keep up the routine of including plenty of probiotics (and of course PRE-biotics!) in your diet and we know you’ll never look back!
In good gut health,
Team Uplifters!
