Recently there has been a high consumption of fermented products. It is not only in the younger popular but many of my older patients are using kefir. Studies have shown that eating fermented foods can have an impact on short and long term impacts on brain function thus reducing stress
The fermented foods are a source of an amino acid called tryptophan. This amino acid is crucial in producing the happy hormone ‘ serotonin ‘ Serotonin is also responsible for mood
There is a study being conducted in Ireland at the University of Cork to pinpoint which fermented food is most beneficial for brain health I am sure that vegetabe based fermented foods will be on top
Start consuming fermented foods
Until tomorrow…
