Recognizing the influence of good eating habits and a healthy lifestyle on the brain-gut axis is a first step towards balancing stress levels and improving mood and cognitive function.

A balanced and healthy diet can promote a diverse and healthy gut microbiome, which can have beneficial effects on brain function and mental well-being. On the other hand, an unbalanced diet, rich in processed foods, saturated fats and refined sugars, can promote a dysfunctional gut microbiota, associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, which, in turn, can negatively affect brain function and contribute to states of anxiety or depression!

It is a fact: the stress and the anxiety can have a significant impact on your digestive system and your health, but the opposite is also true, because if your gut is not working it affects your mood, energy and happiness.

So don’t hesitate if you come to the conclusion that it’s time to make changes to your diet and behavior. Your body and mind will thank you!

Modifying the microbiota by consuming probiotics, postbiotics or prebiotics

It is an opportunity to prevent many diseases related to the Western diet and lifestyle, especially those related to metabolic changes. Food products are currently being developed that undergo the tyndallization process to eliminate live bacteria while preserving the beneficial components produced during fermentation.

Tyndallization, what does it mean?

Tyndallization is a sterilization method designed by John Tyndall, which is carried out by intermittent heating, interspersed with cooling periods, which allows safeguarding the nutrients and organoleptic qualities of the product.

bifidobacteria

Bifidobacteria are a group of probiotic bacteria that naturally inhabit the gastrointestinal tract, helping with digestion, strengthening the immune system and fighting pathogenic bacteria.

Nutrition offers enormous potential for gut modulation to improve quality of life and longevity, but don’t forget that it must go hand in hand with healthy behaviors and routines!
