Is there a link between our gut and mental health? - CrowdScience podcast, BBC World Service

[@peter5.056]

The fact that this is even up for question, tells me that people have completely forgotten how to eat.

[@androwaydie4081]

Let alone forgetting, why isn't this primordial knowledge taught at school ? Oh... Food lobbies.

[@TheDirthound]

Eat healthy and stop eating when you first start to feel full. It's just that simple.

[@peter5.056]

@@TheDirthound Eat from Nova Group 1 foods, and primarily plants. Big salad, some whole grains and legumes, a little unprocessed meat on the side if desired, fresh fruit for dessert. No oils, no dairy, no sugar, easy on the salt.

[@alejobola]

Yes, there's a huge relationship between gut health, gut bacteria, and mental health, to the point that the neural network in our gut has been deemed a sort of second brain. Mind what you eat, seriously.

[@windyhawthorn7387]

The first time I ate fermented mustard greens my stomach loved it so much it lifted my mood and I just felt the positive effect. My stomach also loves an bunch of food like brussel sprouts kimchi , peppers and okra.

[@user-qi7o0dr54h8rq]

100% agree

[@DoctorEyeHealth]

I can share that there is a fascinating connection between the gut and the eye. The gut retinal axis is crazy

[@KumarKumar-fn4sx]

Dear team BBC, you people have beautifully explained the link between brain and gut health. The people who create awareness about health issues are angels of god. May god blossom your consciousness

[@YPNOBATHS]

When I change my diet I saw many changes in my mood. I insert more vegetables and fruit in my daily routine. I fell more healthy than ever

[@juliuscaesart]

“You are what you eat.” big facts here

[@esennka]

Last night I had way too much sugar and had constant nightmares (I don’t have nightmares often) and was thinking there might be a relationship and this morning I am seeing this- woow- Thank you

[@sylvianne374]

Yes, sugar depletes your body of vitamin B1 and that will give you nightmares at night

[@ggof_il2098]

I have discovered that when i cut out sugar and reduce my carbs and highly processed foods/oils and now i get less headaches,migraines and my IBS settles down, i sleep better and don't feel so lethargic all the time. I was one who thought it was just health fanatics trying to be mean 😂but i decided to try it for myself a few months ago and now i understand!

[@icilmaa]

It's disgusting that medical doctors are not discussing this with their patients. Some are but the majority aren't or don't have a clue.

[@MMAfitnessdude]

There is NO $$$ in healthy people!

[@marcthomas4488]

Because how would they get paid....many in thr field see patients as a paycheck.

[@ishubaba4202]

The clue is in their name Medi-Cal / Medi-Cine

[@kimhandley1523]

You would have to be really stupid, dumb and thick to not know this. Why on earth would you need a GP to advise this. Even though they already do. God I just cannot fathom how thick 90% of humans are.

[@dhruvaism]

As they say You are what you eat!

[@paulocesarlimongidelimafil3269]

The problem goes beyond the individual's decision on what to eat or not. There's a problem of class. The rise in the price of food condemns the lower class to spend less with food and that fact is nothing to be ignored. If we analyse statics, we will able to see that people with less money are feeding themselves with fast food

[@guaxary]

Sauerkraut is my chocolate! But it all comes down to how we were fed as children and what foods are available to us when we can't cook but need to grab something quick (and cheap) on the go.

[@TylerCheung-zs5fe]

Really good episode. It may also explain why there are so many people who have been suffering from mental problems since they were young. Healthy diet should start at young age as I've seen parents giving soft drinks, chocolates, and chips to their toddlers for lunch. I'll never do this. I also saw a pregnant woman drinking coffee or tea. Hope there's one episode which is about what food to avoid for pregnant women and it could be broadcasted on TV so that more people will get to know how our diet affects our mental health and next generation. I remember there was a TV programme long time ago, We are What We Eat. Very true. Thank you.

[@nostalgia545]

You can’t have tea when pregnant?

[@maryseman7019]

@@nostalgia545 Millions do; I can't see any harm in it.

[@RebekkaGerman]

What is a problem with coffee and tea during pregnancy?

[@TylerCheung-zs5fe]

​@RebekkaGerman if decaf, should be fine. It's the caffeine that affects pregnancy. You may search NHS for more information about what drinks should be avoided during pregnancy.

[@newpilgrim]

Yes...we've definitely known this for many decades in the West. Thanks for sharing!

[@boeingpameesha9550]

My sincere thanks for your sharing it.

[@alphaomega1351]

My sincere welcome 🙏. 😳

[@containedhurricane]

Definitely, because people could get easily irritated if their guts feel uncomfortable

I enjoy listening to this so much! :) I should have known this before. For many years, I was listening to podcasts in UK and Australia. they are fantastic to , but this is way better! :) Thanks!

Excellent programme, gut microbiota is very important for us, please eat healthy food

[@SleepyTimeSensation]

I know there should be balance when it comes to the food on your plate, but what needs to be done to get your gut back on track.

[@ТамараГерфанова]

I have been depressed for a long time.Proper nutrition helps to manage the illness.I eat tomatoes, sheep's cheese, nuts, berries, eggs, butter, sometimes sourdough bread, bananas,cruiciferous vegetable, and a bit of honey.

[@zunairarif4971]

Such a interesting research

[@Sammy-nj3io]

When I eat sugar, particularly late at night, I have su*c*d@l thoughts. I know this and I still eat it, ugh. I love and hate sugar

[@gilessteve]

If you entirely give up eating sugar, you'll lose the taste for it and won't need it any more. Start thinking of it as a drug you're addicted to.

[@aroundandround]

I don’t feel like food makes much difference to anything as long as one eats reasonably diverse whole foods.

[@R-London7]

Money spent on a lousy meal definitely effect’s my mood. Lol.

[@theobserver9131]

I once asked my doctor if my diet might have something to do with a health issue I had at the time. He looked at me like I had two heads. The question seemed to really confuse him. I have a different doctor now.

[@theobserver9131]

I think all GPs should have extensive knowledge of nutrition. It doesn't seem to be the case.

This should not even be a scientific question. It is just so obvious.

[@TylerCheung-zs5fe]

Depends on what kind of tea, if decaf tea, should be fine.

Could it be that the bad mood in your brain affect the bacteria in your guts ? Could it be bidirectional

[@PetLovers-DogCat]

Mostly I like eating healthy food, but sometimes eat fast food 😊❤

[@王敬文-i5d]

It seems that there is a undermined relationship between gut and mentalhealth.

[@vigneshvenkateswaran3270]

Would be better if the host just states objective things and not overlay statements with her opinions. Overall very informative.

[@MrKenpachi777]

Why not sharing the video? It sounds like it's a soundtrack from a video clip

[@transez]

Finished listening to the whole thing but found nothing new. It just proves yes, there's a link between mental health and gut health. But nothing really new about how to make "happy bacteria" nor reduce "sad bacteria" other than what we already know - cut out sugar, eat fibrous food, lots of seeds and nuts ... I agree with much of these but not entirely. I've cut out most sugar since a very young age but I do still enjoy high carb foods, especially rice and pasta. But I do eat more veges than meat but don't touch fruits for years, and I stand by nuts and seeds. I think I'm well adjusted, feeling happy mostly but there're days with mood swings (maybe just PMS). So, my conclusion is mostly, to just listen very closely to your body, and make it happy! If your body wants some Cheetos, give it , and make it happy. My body does crave those things once in a while, and I don't see why not in the grand scheme of observing a long-term relatively healthy lifestyle ... the only health ethos I stand by is, eat 70%-80% full so you don't overwork your organs. Good for gut, brain and complexion 😉

BBC is important my lesting skill😊

[@HaadBajwa-g3e]

Yes fast food makes you happy 😊 🍟🍔🥤 if you are hungry you become cranky. If I eat ice-cream 🍦 I am happy 😊 if I am on a vegetarian diet I am cranky. 😮😅

[@theobserver9131]

omg. I can't believe this is even a question. The things I assume everyone knows, like, do most bipeds have two legs? I mean, I guess some things bear repeating.

Food does affect mood to some extent

[@davidcooks2379]

What a stupid title! BBC should be the first there to advocate for a total ban of ultra-processes foods, glucose syrup, trans fats, inflammatory foods like plant oils, anything with added sugar and all the ultra-processed vegan nonsence

[@christopheryeow]

Of course food can affect our brains. The brain is one part of the organs of our body, just like the others, it has its own functions. Also like other organs of our body, so if the food we digested can make an effect on all those parts of our body, why can't it affect our brain? And please do understand, food can affect our brains in a fundamental way, but it can never calls some mental illness in your mind, unless you think they do.
