Viral attack on the vagus nerve may explain some of the symptoms of long COVID, according to Spanish researchers.

dwm Two gut bacteria, Morganella and Klebsiella, appeared to be the culprits when it came to depression, they found. This wasn’t the first time that depression-microbe connection was made. Over a decade ago, studies had indicated that depressed people had stronger responses to chemicals produced by Morganella and other gut bacteria, but the findings underscore that connection, though more research is still needed to fully understand it.

Try including fermented foods like kefir or cultured yogurt in your diet, or sauerkraut or the Korean cabbage dish, kimchi. All help to keep “good bacteria” thriving in our gut.

Humans evolved to crave sweet tastes to get the nutrients needed to survive. A daily supply of vitamins, minerals, and fiber is needed because our bodies cannot make them. The best source of these substances for our ancient ancestors was sweet, ripe, delicious fruit. In addition, fruits contain phytonutrients and antioxidants, chemicals produced only by plants. Phytonutrients such as ellagic acid in strawberries have cancer-fighting properties and promote heart health.
