Did you know that not all bacteria are bad for you? It turns out there’s such a thing as good bacteria. According to scientists getting the balance right in your gut isn’t just vital for our physical health, but new research shows it can be just as important for our mental health too.
The gut is a complex place. It’s made up of an ecosystem of lots of different bacteria, yeast, fungi and viruses that all make up your microbiome. When lifestyle or environmental factors, such as bad diet, stress, not getting enough sleep and antibiotics unbalance our microbiomes it can have an adverse effect on our bodies.
