Boost Mood and Stress Relief Using What?
Stress, anxiety and depression are very common symptoms today. We cannot go a day without hearing that someone is stressed, anxious or even depressed. These disorders have becomes so prevalent today that they are definitely worth paying attention to and figuring out.
Recent studies have begun working on and suggesting psychobiotics, which are special strains of probiotics used to affect the gut-brain connections, which has been shown over and over to help improve mood and deal with these aforementioned symptoms. There has been incredible amounts of research done on the connection between the health of our intestinal tract (which we all know contains 80% of our immune system - and if you didn't well now you know), and our brains/mood.
Stress is known to have a huge affect on our well being, from the way we think and behave all the way to how we sleep, eat and function.
There have been great results with probiotics in treating issues of chronic constipation/diarrhea and gastrointestinal issues, so scientists decided to take it a little further. Again, knowing that there is a direct connection between the health of our guts and our psychological states, the following 5 probiotic strains have been researched extensively and found to have great effects on our moods and mental state.
- Lactobacillus Acidophilus
- Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
- Bifidobacterium Longum
- Lactobacillus Plantarum
- Bifidobacterium Bifidum
There is no claim that this will completely eradicate depression or anxiety, but there is a good chance that this will greatly help in your battle to overcoming these symptoms.
Always look for plant based and not medical strains of the above mentioned.
Hope this helps.
