PROZAC IN THE YOGURT AISLE.

PROZAC IN THE YOGURT AISLE:

Scientists have documented that beneficial microorganisms play a critical role in how our bodies function. And along the way, it’s become clear that the influence goes beyond the gut.

Now, researchers are turning their attention to our emotional health. It turns out that there’s a lot of communication between our guts and our brains. Scientists studying this refer to this as the gut-brain axis.

New findings show that probiotic bacteria act like prozac or valium on the brain, making people less reactive to negative thoughts and feelings.
