Tip of the Day

Try probiotics against depression, starting with blueberries. Eat a handful a day. They're considered a superfood!

“Blueberries contain the antioxidant flavonoid anthocyanin, which is associated with reduced inflammation and the risk of depression. Finally, they also contain vitamin C, which can be beneficial for reducing the negative impacts of stress.”
