21. Yogurt
Finally, yogurt or foods like kefir, can be effective at reducing inflammation. This is because they can provide a source of healthy bacteria cultures which will then make their way to the stomach. The stomach is sometimes called the ‘second brain’ by biologists because it is responsible for producing a number of neurochemicals and actually has a lot of neurons.
This gut fauna also produces many digestive enzymes, kills bad bacteria and helps to break down food by eating it!
In plain English, this means that the bacteria in your stomach (called ‘fauna’) is responsible in part for your mood, your stress levels and your ability to digest food and absorb nutrients. All this can help prevent inflammation too!
