Prebiotics linked to improving anxiety
Hey Uplifters,
We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy! We know times right now are slightly stressful and uncertain, which is why we decided to share with you guys an interesting article from sciencedaily on how anxiety might be alleviated by regulating gut bacteria.
Let's all try to take the time to make sure we all maintain a healthy diet through prebiotic fiber rich foods, and your happy healthy gut will thank you!
Research has been conducted on how gut microbiota can help improve mental diseases, thus a team of researchers from Shanghai Mental Health decided to investigate the evidence to support this claim.
One of the studies showed that there was a positive effect on anxiety symptoms as well as a reduction in symptoms from regulating your gut microbiota.
Overall, researchers concluded that these studies showed it was successful to treat anxiety symptoms by regulation of intestinal microbiota. Even though non-probiotic interventions can be effective, more future research on the effect of prebiotics to alleviate anxiety symptoms can still be conducted.
In summary, researchers look forward to using probiotic interventions to alleviate anxiety symptoms.
As you can see from above, there is no harm in maintaining a healthy diet with lots of prebiotic fiber to help improve gut microbiota and possible help alleviate anxiety symptoms.
