Psychobiotic diet: Could kimchi, kefir, or kombucha lower your stress?

I love kimchi!

Prebiotic, fermented foods may lower stress, improve sleep

People who ate prebiotic and fermented foods such as kimchi and kefir not only had lower stress levels but also had improved sleep quality.

Fermented foods are great for health. There's a reason certain Asian cultures live as long as they do.

If you want lower stress take 600mg of ksm66 ashwagandha every day for 1 months. It's been shown to cut cortisol in half in studies. Which is basically unheard of..

Another great post @Bagua - So much of our health is related to our gut / digestions health. There are dozens of analogies but don't think any are needed.
After taking antibiotics any doctor worth a F should tell you to take a good probiotic when your done.
Digestive enzymes should be part of your supplement regimen a few times a year, at least I think they should be. That being said - sauerkraut, yogurt, and lots of fermented foods may be just as good. They do so much for inflammation as well - Wobenzyme is as good as some NSAIDS for specific arthritic pain.
Prebiotics and probiotics albeit not the same/ digestive enzymes / fermented foods are great for your overall health.
