🌱 Did you know? Recent studies have highlighted the connection between #depression and #guthealth. Individuals experiencing depression often exhibit lower levels of diverse 'good' bacteria, which can impact the integrity of the gut wall, potentially leading to chronic inflammation associated with depressive symptoms. Nourish your body by eating 30 or more different plant types each week, including vegetables, pulses, beans, seeds, nuts, and fruit and avoiding highly processed foods that contain emulsifiers and other chemicals that can damage the microbiome and the gut wall. Eating fermented foods like kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi is a great way to provide good bacteria that support a healthy microbiome! A healthy gut supports a happy mind! 🧠 To learn more, visit: https://bit.ly/44VYx3U #MentalWellness #mentalhealthfood #foodforthought
Excellent, but some dairy milk 🥛 and cheese 🧀 good as well, depending upon the individual. Talk to your dietitian. Thanks Mumtaz Ali

3moIt’s fascinating! The gut microbiome plays an important role in preventing depression. The gut microbiome produces neurotransmitters and other chemicals important for mental wellbeing – its bacteria need to be suitably fed. A well-functioning gut microbiome requires consumption of 30+ different plant types per week to provide nutrition for diverse gut bacteria.
