Some researchers believe by controlling the good bacteria in your gut, you can stave off cognitive decline.
– Have you ever heard someone say: ”I have a gut feeling about that?” Well, it turns out your gut may know more than your brain when it comes to some things. In fact, some researchers believe by controlling the good bacteria in your gut, you can stave off cognitive decline.Add 23 and a half years to that and you have Brown’s real age. Brown is increasing his exercise routine and focusing on his diet, which some researchers say is key to taking care of not only your body, but also your brain.
Hariom Yadav, PhD, an associate professor of neurosurgery and brain repair at USF Institute for Microbiomes explained, “There is a natural abundance of the good and the bad bacteria there living together.” Creating a microbial community in your gut that lives and works together, but Yadav details, “The bad guys grow much faster than the good guys. The microbiome is very different in the people who are have high risk of developing dementia.”Studies have shown the gut microbiome may affect executive brain function, including its influence on cognition, depression and anxiety. Ninety-five percent of serotonin and 50 percent of dopamine are produced in the gut.
Yadav stated, “Our hope is by offering or correcting the microbiome abnormalities early enough, it will delay or prevent the cognitive decline or dementia progress.”Researchers at USF are launching a research study for people who are concerned about their brain health, cognitive impairment and dementia, and the link to their gut health.
