🌿 Want Better Gut Health? Meet Prebiotics + Probiotics! 🦠💚
Your gut does more than digest food—it supports your immune system, mental health, and helps protect you from chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity.

So how can you take care of it? 👉 With prebiotics and probiotics.

💡 What’s the Difference?
🔹 Prebiotics are food for your good gut bacteria.
Think of them like fertilizer that helps healthy bacteria grow.
Found in: garlic, onions, bananas, oats, apples, green tea.

🔹 Probiotics are live good bacteria that keep your gut in balance.
Found in: yogurt, kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, miso.

Together, they’re called synbiotics—and they work even better as a team!

✅ Why You Should Care:
Adding more prebiotics and probiotics can help with:

🧻 IBS – Eases bloating, cramps, and digestion problems
⚖️ Obesity – Supports weight management and reduces inflammation
♀️ PCOS – Balances hormones and improves gut health
🍔 Fatty Liver (NAFLD) – Helps your liver process fats better
🧠 Mental Health – Supports mood and reduces stress

🧠 New research shows fermented cabbage (like sauerkraut or kimchi) can help protect your gut—not raw cabbage or brine.

Why? Fermentation creates compounds like GABA, ILA, and D-PLA that support gut integrity and calm the nervous system.

🧬 It’s not just food. It’s functional science.

🧠 Exhaustion Isn’t Just Tiredness — It Could Be a Warning Sign

New research from Sweden shows that stress-related exhaustion in midlife may raise the risk of dementia later in life.

📊 Key findings:
• Women with exhaustion were 3x more likely to develop dementia before 75
• On average, they were diagnosed 6 years earlier
• They still showed cognitive decline decades later, even without dementia

😴 So, what is clinical exhaustion?
It’s not just fatigue. It’s a chronic, stress-driven condition that includes:
✔️ Ongoing tiredness
✔️ Memory + focus problems
✔️ Sleep issues, irritability
✔️ Struggles with daily functioning

At Yohocare, we believe early support saves futures.
🛑 Don’t ignore exhaustion.
🧠 Prioritize rest.
💬 Talk to someone.
