Food Research: Beta-glucan-enriched pasta boosts good gut bacteria ♦ Fruit and vegetables protect your mind ♦ High consumption of sugar sweetened beverages linked to overall poor diet ,

Fruit and vegetables aren't only good for a healthy body; they protect your mind too Eating a Mediterranean diet or other healthy dietary pattern, comprising of fruit, vegetables, legumes, and nuts and low in processed meats, is associated with preventing the onset of depression, according to research.

Beta-glucan-enriched pasta boosts good gut bacteria, reduces bad cholesterol People fed beta-glucan-enriched pasta for two months showed increased populations of beneficial bacteria in their intestinal tracts, and reduced populations of non-beneficial bacteria. They also showed reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol. This work is part of a broad effort to identify potential prebiotics -- foods that could encourage the growth of health-promoting bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
