“Improving one’s lot in life is a sign of health and growth. But we’ve got to be careful about always demanding some nonexistent perfection and learn instead to appreciate, to enhance what is in hand.” —Henry Miller

Improve your gut; Improve your Mental Health?
PSYCHOBIOTICS – A term coined by Ted Dinan, a psychiatrist at the University of Cork, Ireland.
Improving one’s flora in the gut via “good” bacteria appears to have positive benefits on one’s mental health (e.g. reducing anxiety, depression, inflammation; improving metabolism, digestion, immunity).
Increasing one’s prebiotics (i.e. dark chocolate) & probiotics (i.e. sauerkraut, yogurt) may play a pivotal role in good mental health.
Dark Chocolate, anyone?
