STer Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Gut feelings: the future of psychiatry may be inside your stomach Perhaps the ills of the world really emerge from bad gut microbes? Imagine how that would change strategy haha.
Kevin Beal Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Very interesting. I've added probiotics to my diet in the last year or so and it's had a noticeable effect on my mood. I didn't do it for mental health, but I can see how it would be beneficial. Interesting article
LovePrevails Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I have been talking a lot about probiotics recently and learning about them the body is an ecosystem, "bad" organisms eat our food and stop us from getting the benefit from them, "good" ones have a sybiotic relationship and help us absorb nutrients and break down foods Kevin what kind of probiotics to you use? My housemate GROWS Kombucha and Kefir I recommend you do the same as the effect is far more pronounced because most of the microbes in capsules are actually dead according to some studies! it's great that people are taking an interest in improving digestion this is well worth 50 minutes
Kevin Beal Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I drink kombucha about once a week and yogurt more often than that, but primarily it's a mixture called Vitamineral Green. I'll check out that video when I have some more time
LovePrevails Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 I was just saying if you can grow Kombucha yourself it's far better than the commercial brands although they are sometimes better tasting and certainly worth it in lieu of having your own
