Studies indicate that the bacteria in your digestive system might play a role in mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
The Dallas Express previously covered the topic, discussing the impact of gut bacteria on brain function and its role in causing depression.
Nonetheless, recent studies propose that an individual’s capacity to manage stress is influenced by the diversity of their gut bacteria.
A recent study from UCLA reveals that individuals who are able to withstand stress often possess a balanced gut microbiome.
Here is some of what Robby Berman reported on the study for Medical News Today:
According to the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America 2022 report, stress largely immobilized 37% of adults in the United States that year, rendering them unable to fulfill many basic daily tasks.
In the APA’s 2023 survey, chronic stress among Americans had leaped from 31% reported in 2019 to 45% reported in 2023.
Resilience is a quality that allows a person to respond to stress more effectively through a level-headed acceptance of change, tenacity, and an ability to recover from difficult events.
A new UCLA study finds that people who are resilient in the face of stress tend to have healthy gut microbiomes. The strong link between gut and brain health underscores the complex interplay between the organs and multiple systems within the human body.
