Researchers are now showing that the bacteria populating our guts affect many different aspects of our health.
This includes mental health as well as physical health.
A study covered by Medical News Today found a persistent link between bacterial diversity in the gut and mental health issues.
Now, researchers from VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology in Belgium have analyzed the health data of a large group of people to pinpoint which gut bacteria may play a role in depression.
