That’s
the headline from a recent article in Medscape - http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/805012
The
article goes on to say that “A new study provides the first evidence in humans
that probiotics in the diet can modulate brain activity.
“In
a proof-of-concept study using functional MRI (fMRI), researchers found that
women who regularly consumed probiotic-containing yogurt showed altered
activity of brain regions that control central processing of emotion and
sensation.“
Ok,
so why is this important?
"This
study is unique because it is the first to show an interaction between a
probiotic and the brain in humans," lead author Kirsten Tillisch, MD,
associate professor, Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress,
David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California Los Angeles, told
Medscape Medical News.
Ok,
the author of the study thinks it’s important…what about some other smart
researcher?
"This
is a very important study as up to now most of the evidence that the gut
microbiota can influence brain and behavior have emerged from studies in mouse
models including our own work (Bravo et al., PNAS 2011)," John Cryan, PhD,
professor and head of the Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience, University
College Cork, Ireland, who was not involved in the study, told Medscape Medical
News.
Ok,now
that you’ve read that endorsement, here’s the link, again, to the full article:

Nothing compares to the healing power of nature. Almost every health problem can be addressed in one natural way or another. Digestive issues rank among the ones that can be dealt with through the selection of herbal remedies.
In adults, HGH plays the important role of protecting tissues and organs from damage and from the effects of aging. HGH can be used to boost energy levels, to increase bone density, to boost lean muscle mass and to keep skin healthy and youthful.
Human growth hormone supplements can also improve the results of workout sessions, strengthen the immune response and decrease body fat.
Many GABA supplements are sold due to the fact that they induce peacefulness and a positive attitude. There’s also some evidence that GABA could be linked to an increase in human growth hormone (HGH) levels.
Make sure that you associate regular exercise with healthy diet and enough rest and sleep.
