According to the doctor, various foods promote the growth of the population and the development of bacteria in the intestines (microbiome). If opportunistic microorganisms predominate, this will harm the body and the person will become ill. If beneficial microflora grows, the body becomes stronger, digestion improves, etc. And all this affects your mood.
Demyanovskaya cited recent studies showing that people who frequently consume yogurt and kefir are less susceptible to bad mood and depression. The doctor explained that since the intestines have their own nervous system, intestinal signals are transmitted to the brain.
“For example, scientists recently found that the risk of depression was significantly lower in people who regularly drank yoghurt and kefir. It’s probably all about lactobacilli, which are beneficial lactic acid bacteria. It turns out that they help increase the level of interferon gamma, a protein that is important for the normal functioning of the immune system, reduces inflammation and helps cope with stress,” Demyanovskaya said.
