mental health and microbiome

Recent research showed an association between the decrease or absence of anti-inflammatory bacteria and the increase in some 𝐩𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.⁣⁣

This was associated with the increase in pro-inflammatory bacteria.⁣⁣

And what are the bacterias involved?⁣⁣

• The anti-inflammatory bacteria (good):⁣⁣

1. 𝘍𝘢𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮⁣⁣
2. 𝘊𝘰𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴⁣⁣

 

• The pro-inflammatory bacteria (bad):⁣⁣

1. 𝘌𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢⁣⁣

They believe this relates to the low production of 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 from the absent bacteria, as this leads to an anti-inflammatory effect, mainly in the bowel.⁣⁣

• The name 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 comes from the 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐮𝐦, which means butter.⁣⁣
  

But please don’t go and start eating it by the bucket load, as this is not the best way to increase 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 in your system!⁣⁣

Take this research with caution, as the study did not take into account individual variables.⁣⁣

And despite the finding of this exciting relation, some studies directly aimed at this association have not yet proven the link.⁣⁣

What is important is that there starts to exist some evidence that might lead to a better understanding of the connection between gut health and mental health.⁣⁣

This study was done at 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧, in association with the 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥.
