Gut Health and Mental Health- Top 3 Diet Tips- Fermented Foods- Probiotics to Boost Microbiota (IBS)

Three ways to improve your gut health. In recent years the gut has been shown to have an important role in mental health and overall health. A recent study carried out by Jeroen Raes and his colleagues found an intriguing link between gut bacteria and mental health. In a sample of over 1000 Belgians, the study found people with depressive symptoms were missing certain types of bacteria. People who did not have depressive symptoms were not missing these types of bacteria. The missing bacteria were Coprococcus and Dialister. So, how do get the right types of bacteria in our guts? At NourishMe Organics, we've been interviewing prominent gut health researchers and advocates on the Gut Health Gurus Podcast. We always ask what they recommended to improve gut health. Here are some of our takeaways: 1. Eat fermented foods regularly. The regular consumption of fermented foods can introduce beneficial types of bacteria to your gut. We recommend making your own Kefir, Kombucha or Sauerkraut. These simple changes to your diet can have a big impact. 2. Stop eating processed/artificial foods. Many processed foods contain harmful substances that damage the gut. You can't make progress if you're constantly disrupting your gut. 3. Spend time outside in nature every day. Being exposed to the natural environment can help introduce beneficial microbes to your gut. Even contact with the dirt can help. The light from the sun can also help to normalise circadian rhythms and processes within the body. Gut health issues are more common than ever.
