Improving Mental Health through Better Gut Health
The gut microbiome, a complex community of trillions of microorganisms, significantly influences mental well-being. Gut health issues have been linked to various psychiatric, neurodevelopmental, neurological, and cognitive diseases. Statistics reveal that nearly two-thirds of Americans will experience some degree of cognitive decline by age 70. Additionally, it's estimated that around 30% of individuals will suffer from anxiety, and approximately 20% will face mood disorders at some point in their lives.
