Stress, Depression, Chronic Fatigue
I have no strength for anything, I just want to stay in bed and sleep. Literally everything in the office irritates me, colleagues, calls, meetings, I can’t concentrate on anything, I get tired instantly, and when I return home I can’t sleep. I lash out at people close to me who are trying to help me, but I can’t help myself. There are no desires to do anything, no energy. What’s wrong with me!? You ask yourself. Stress, depression, chronic fatigue are very familiar concepts to all of us. We all encounter them during our lives in one form or another. And in the modern rhythm of life, they are the scourge of our society.
Stress begins with an initiating event (stress factor). Throughout our lives, day after day, month after month, year after year, we are faced with a variety of stressful situations: these can be personal problems, work problems, financial difficulties, illnesses and losses. The physical and emotional reaction of our body to depressing or disturbing events is stress.
Stress has a trigger mechanism, a starting point; if a person does not pay attention to it, then he turns into depression.
Depression is already a disease that needs to be treated correctly and promptly. According to WHO (World Health Organization), today more than 20% of people in the world suffer from depression. It is equated to cardiovascular diseases. 2020 has been a very difficult year for everyone, a year of changes and challenges. In 2020, according to WHO, the number of people suffering from depression exceeded the number of cancer and cardiovascular patients. More than 60% of suicides are caused by untreated depression.
In her interview, the famous Stand-UP comedian Yulia Akhmedova spoke about how long she has been struggling with depression. Her struggle lasts her entire life and this is no joke. Depression reduces her ability to work so much that in the morning she cannot get out of bed, she simply does not have the physical strength to do so.
Depression and its accompanying fatigue have many faces. Depression has emotional, physical, behavioral and mental manifestations.
Now the good news! Stress, depression and fatigue can and should be treated! And we will treat them with a natural drug, without resorting to antidepressants.
Your microbiome is the boss of everything. Your microflora was formed when you were in your mother’s womb; it started working from the moment you appeared and consistently changed with your growth. Your first microbial helpers were lactobacilli; you met them while passing through the birth canal and absorbed them with your mother’s milk. Over the next 2 years, your microflora grew, you absorbed it literally from everywhere, from food, from dogs and cats, from contacts with various people, and so on. Your microflora was formed by the age of 3 years. In an adult, there are 100 trillion bacterial cells of about a thousand species.
Microflora is a dynamic and responsive organ. She responds to literally everything that surrounds you. And throughout your life it evolves according to your lifestyle. As you get older, the health and diversity of your microflora decreases, which is why it becomes more difficult for our bodies to cope with stress as we age.
In addition, depletion of microflora affects immunity and chronic inflammation. The immune response becomes weak and short-lived, which leads to chronic inflammation. Stress and inflammation reduce the number and diversity of your microflora. The loss of microbes damages the entire immune system and triggers new inflammatory processes and so on in a circle.
In order to maintain the diversity of flora, people have used fermented foods since ancient times. You’re familiar with many of them: sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurt, kombucha and kefir.
Today scientists offer us a new fermented product – Biodonatum. A new generation microbiotic that supports the completeness and diversity of the flora, and therefore your immunity. Lysates of 16 strains of lacto and bifidobacteria suppress reactions caused by stress and depression. Bacteria in our body are able to suppress stress through the production of lipids – hexadecenoic acid. In addition, the intestines and the brain are interconnected, pathogenic intestinal flora causes reactions in the brain, including serotonin produced in the intestines, so by restoring the diversity of friendly flora, you restore your body comprehensively.
