“Our study has shown that simple probiotics that we normally use to keep our digestive tract in sync, could be beneficial to reducing our stress levels as well,” says Aaron Ericsson, a research assistant professor in veterinary pathobiology at the University of Missouri.An older study, which examined humans in the Netherlands found similar results when measuring the effectiveness of probiotic yogurt among anxious people. Some participants were given a probiotic supplement and others were given a placebo. Participants who received the probiotics showed a significant reduction in negative and aggresive thoughts and were less likely to ruminate in comparison to those given a placebo. So if you're looking for a way to soothe your anxiety, grab a yogurt, just make sure it's a probiotic one.
