Your gut bacteria can ferment fiber into neurotransmitters that improve brain function.

Body & Brain (@BodyBrain)

Short-chain fatty acids produced by bacterial fermentation strengthen the blood-brain barrier and produce GABA (calming) and butyrate (neuroprotection). Your diet's fiber content literally feeds the bacteria that feed your brain. Processed foods starve this system, potentially explaining cognitive decline.
