Is this why kids are so happy? Researchers discover anti-inflammatory fat in soil-dwelling bacterium that can help relieve stress
A fat molecule found in Mycobacterium vaccae, a soil-dwelling bacterium, is behind its potent anti-stress effects, according to a recent study. Published in Psychopharmacology, it revealed that a lipid called 10(Z)-hexadecenoic acid in M. vaccae inhibits inflammation in the brain. The researchers behind the study also reported that cells became more resistant to inflammation upon exposure to the said […]

Having constantly stressed ancestors may improve your own immune response to stressors, suggest research
A new study showed that the descendants of lizards who lived in high-stress environments developed stronger immune systems than those descended from lizards who lived in low-stress environments. Based on this discovery, researchers should consider looking at family history in future studies investigating stress and its effects on health. Long periods of stress can compromise the immune system of an organism, rendering it more vulnerable to […]

Deep breathing leads to stress relief, researchers find
A recent study has revealed that deep breathing can help manage stress. Researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine and their colleagues have identified the exact neurons that link breathing and states of mind. These states of mind include attention, relaxation, anxiety, and excitement. According to the findings of the paper, first published in […]
