Stress can cause anxiety and insomnia.Recent studies jointly published by Brigham Young University and Shanghai Jiaotong University in the Nature Science report show that stress is the equivalent of eating junk food to people.
The researchers first divided a group of eight-week-old white mice into two groups, one of which was housed in a high-fat diet and the other 16 weeks later placed the mice in a pressure setting for 18 days.
During the experiment, researchers collected microbial DNA samples from mouse excrement before and after stress test, and found that female and male mice responded to different stresses after being challenged with body fluids. A group of female mice The intestinal flora in the body under pressure has changed, becoming a group similar to the high-fat diet.Experimental leader Laura Bridgewater said that the pressure is not only a psychological phenomenon, Will also cause physical changes in the body.
In real life, women are more likely to be depressed and anxious in the face of stress, and the different responses of men and women to stress may well be due to the different responses of their gut flora to stress.
