How to build a better brain: Your doctor won't mention THIS for mood, memory and dementia
What was said
"After 8 weeks of these small sachets a day, that the women who got the real stuff, they had an increase in the volume of their hippocampus. It actually grew. This is what we saw after 8 weeks of them consuming this. We didn't see that happen in the placebo group."
A controlled trial by Professor Jacka showed that consuming 130ml of probiotic yogurt daily increased hippocampus volume in healthy women within eight weeks. The hippocampus, critical for memory and mood, typically shrinks with age and depression, making this finding potentially groundbreaking for brain health.
