Your gut bacteria are tiny living organisms that help digest food, support your immune system, and influence your overall health. Eating foods rich in fiber, fermented products like yogurt and kimchi, and colorful fruits and vegetables helps grow these beneficial bacteria. When your gut bacteria become unbalanced, it can lead to inflammation and various diseases, but eating the right foods can restore balance and improve your health.

Psychotomimetic compensation versus sensitization

This paper proposes a new way to understand why drugs that can cause psychosis-like effects (such as psilocybin, LSD, and ketamine) can also help treat depression and anxiety.

However, if someone uses these drugs repeatedly or experiences chronic stress, they may become sensitized and more vulnerable to developing actual psychotic symptoms over time.

Eastern European Fermented Foods: Nutritional Value, Functional Potential, and Cultural Heritage

mycolabadmin

Eastern European fermented foods like sauerkraut, kefir, and kvass have been part of traditional diets for centuries and contain special compounds created during fermentation that may support heart health, digestion, and immunity. These foods provide beneficial bacteria and other active molecules that research suggests could help reduce inflammation and improve metabolic health, though more human studies are needed to fully understand their effects.

Emerging Nonthermal Technologies for the Production of Postbiotics

mycolabadmin

Postbiotics are dead or inactivated beneficial microorganisms and their components that support human health without needing to survive in the gut. Traditional heat-killing methods damage these beneficial compounds. This comprehensive review explores six emerging technologies that can produce postbiotics while better preserving their health-promoting properties, making them more stable and effective for food and supplement applications.

Dietary Intake of Phytochemicals, Gut Microbiota, and Appetite Control

mycolabadmin

This research editorial highlights how plant-based foods rich in phytochemicals can improve gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria growth and supporting communication between the gut and brain. These dietary interventions show promise in helping control appetite, improve metabolism, and reduce the risk of diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes. The studies suggest that personalized nutrition approaches based on individual microbiome profiles could offer more effective disease prevention and health maintenance strategies.
