Diet and the microbiota-gut-brain axis: Sowing the seeds of good mental health

This introductory paper published in 2018 by the European project MyNewGut briefly summarizes the past research on the role of dietary patterns and food components in metabolic and mental health, and on several microbiome-mediating mechanisms. The authors state that since diet is a key modifiable environmental factor that modulates the gut microbiota and its metabolic […]
