Similarly, people who follow Mediterranean-style diets \u2014 rich in vegetables, legumes, healthy fats, and fish \u2014 tend to report lower psychological distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">A key piece of this puzzle lies in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2161831322001491?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\"><strong>gut-brain axis<\/strong><\/a>: the bidirectional communication network between your digestive system and your central nervous system. <strong>The gut microbiome \u2014 trillions of bacteria and microorganisms living in your intestines \u2014 produces neurotransmitters, regulates inflammation, and sends signals<\/strong> directly to your brain through the vagus nerve.
