  • Abstract:
  • The gut-brain axis is a bidirectional communication network linking the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, influencing cognition, mood, and neurological health. This article reviews the scientific basis for the adage “What’s good for your gut is good for your brain,” exploring mechanisms such as neurotransmitter production, immune modulation, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism. Empirical evidence suggests that diets rich in fiber, probiotics, and fermented foods enhance gut microbiota, potentially improving cognitive function and reducing psychiatric symptoms. However, individual variability and study limitations highlight the need for further research. This review synthesizes current evidence, evaluates dietary interventions, and proposes future directions for clinical applications, supported by recent advances in microbiota research.
