Following a Mediterranean diet may help people exposed to trauma limit how severe their posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms are, a new study suggests.
The research builds upon a growing body of evidence that mental health and emotions are affected by microorganisms in what scientists call the gut-brain axis, which is a two-way communication pathway between the brain and the intestines.. For the study, researchers compared diet data, stool samples, and reported PTSD symptoms among 191 women. The women, who were all registered nurses, contributed their health information to a research databank in 2008 and 2013.
When the researchers analyzed the stool samples, they noted that people’s gut microbiome shared traits with those of others who had similar body mass indices, or BMIs, and also among people who had depression or took antidepressant medications.
