Probiotics help treat depression

A new study
that
probiotics can help improve people's
and
prevent depression.
the University of Cork in
Timothy Dinan
and his
research partners define "mental microbes" as "an active organism that is beneficial to the health of people with mental illness after adequate intake."they re-examine the evidence and find that these microbes have great potential to treat depression and other stress-related disorders when consumed in sufficient amounts.of the gut microbes, there are about
1
kg of bacteria, which are not static and change every day after you are born, and they adjust as your diet or other factors change.Early stress, such as maternal-child separation, can lead to long-term changes in microbes, which is well known
Dinan
and his partners reviewed a study that evaluated the potential benefits of Bifidobacteria in infants' depressive behavior in maternally separated rats.probiotic therapy normalizes their behavior and previously abnormal immune responses.clinical study, like other similar studies, strongly supports the hypothesis that probiotics may affect our behavior and immune response.mental microorganisms have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. This is important because both depression and stress are associated with inflammation in the body."The balance of the bacteria in the gut regulates the body's inflammatory response, which may affect the body's mood and behavior, "
authors.In a human
experiment
, the volunteers were divided into the trial group and the control group, the test group ingested two probiotics, Swiss Lactobacillus
R0052
and long Bifidobacteria, while the control group took a blank control for
30,
days.results showed that the psychological stress
the
group
the
group was lower than that of the control group. In another independent study, the results showed that volunteers who drank yogurt containing probiotics had improved mood."It's clear at this point that of all the probiotics that are currently identified, only a small percentage have an impact on human behavior and can be classified as 'mental microbes,'" Dinan
said.review was published in the journal Biopsychosis, published by
