a headache feel lethargic and experience mood changes this sickness behavior as it's called affects but the body and the mind. have heard anglo decided to investigate this phenomenon by carrying out an unusual experiment to understand how inflammation can affect. first we introduce the kind of temporary illness in our subject meaning an inflammatory response for experimental purposes. we didn't use a bacteria or a virus but a component from a microorganism a cell wall component from bacteria. when this so well component is injected into the subject's brain. even that uses a temporary inflammatory response that lasts about 4 to 6 hours. the test subjects were asked to document their mood before during and after the. experiment

. people who receive the test substance the endo toxin experienced a significant drop in mood the effect was strongest about 2 to 3 hours after the injection then it began to improve and normalize again after about 6 to 8 hours their mood was back to normal. what happened and the test substance called bacterial l.p.s. increased the levels of cytokines in the blood proteins that activate the immune response their research has also found evidence of cytokines in the brain by doing a number to withdraw some sort regress spinal fluid. when these inflammatory signals travel from the periphery to the brain they affect the neuronal activity of cells in important structures of the brain which are involved in emotional processing and that can lead to changes in behavior and mood.

the experiment provides evidence that cytokines the immune substances that elicit an inflammatory response might trigger symptoms of depression but what factors can cause that inflammatory response. researches at the university medical center. i mean tested in the impact of diet on cytokine levels and inflammation. we believe that cholesterol fatty acids and other dietary substances that our bodies register as problematic in some way and which we are constantly consuming can lead to a constant low level activation of the immune system. is a leading researcher in the field of information he's teamed up with other researches to develop new therapies to prevent chronic diseases. he's. convinced that diet and

obesity are decisive factors. do diet plays a big role in inflammatory reactions an inflammatory reaction means that cytokines are released which can be triggered by over eating a classic example is when a person consumes too many calories which can lead to obesity. but other dietary components also play a role dietary fats in particular. studies show that trans fats such as those found in fried foods cookies and sweets raise blood fat and cholesterol levels causing barely perceptible inflammation how the intestines process these foods is also critical. and that what we've had to learn in recent years is that it's not just what we eat and what our food is made of that's important and our food is modified through our gut flora our micro biome as it's

called what ends up in the blood is a result of both our diets and our gut flora is to follow golf and buy them. the interplay between diet and micro biome also influences our physical and mental health food switch help prevent or limit information on most beneficial. the good fats are a major 3 fatty acids which are found in fish but there are a plant sources of omega 3 fatty acids called alpha lemak assets or elase they're found to different kinds of vegetables. so you are balanced diet with lots of fish and vegetables and not much meat is considered healthy losing weight also helps not only to reduce inflammation in the body even compelling evidence that this can reduce depressive symptoms in overweight people. there's also what's known as the gut brain axis treaty. we know that there is

communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain it's possible that molecules like cytokines play a key role in the communication between both systems. food nourishes our bodies and our minds many of us know that instinctively but the science is only now starting to catch up. you can treat mental illnesses with drugs given the right medication you can compensate for the overproduction or for the deficiency of certain messenger proteins and combined with psychotherapy you can even cure patients over the last years doctors and scientists have found that support might be equally effective in treating mental disorders like depression and if you're still looking for the right support why not try bouldering. more than 10 years ago 1000000 pocky was
