7Reduce Stress
While your mood could affect your food option, the reverse is also correct. Many studies have shown a close link between your brain and gut. When you consume fermented foods, some healthy bacteria in the digestive system would send positive signals to the cognitive parts and help you alleviate tension. For instance, Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus are two strains in yogurt that would bring many positive effects on your brain. They would encourage some anti-inflammatory effects in the body, which are partly responsible for your stress and anxiety. [7]
