What’s does my gut bacteria have to do with my brain health?

Your gut bacteria are crucial to your overall health and can affect both your body and brain.

If you told someone ten years ago that what’s in your gut could influence your brain or even result in depression, you’d be laughed at. The idea that the bacteria that live in your gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in the health of your brain is now a major focus of research and interest.

Your microbes are essential to the health of your gut and play a part in your physical health. The microbiome’s role in promoting good health may now extend to the health of your brain.

If you personally deal with depression, your diet may have more of an influencing factor than you realized.

Here are nine ways to cultivate good gut bacteria:

Eat prebiotic and probiotic foods

Take a probiotic supplement

Consume plenty of plants and dietary fiber

Get consistent sleep

Lower your stress levels

Cut down on sugar

Exercise regularly

Quit smoking

Avoid antibiotics
