Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. Recent studies have underscored the significant role of gut microbiota in pathogenesis IBS. Physical exercise, as non-pharmacological intervention, has been proposed to alleviate IBS symptoms modulating microbiota. Aerobic such running, swimming, cycling, shown enhance diversity abundance beneficial bacteria, including Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium. These bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids that possess anti-inflammatory properties support barrier integrity. Studies involving patients participating structured aerobic exercise programs reported improvements their microbiota's composition diversity, alongside an alleviation like pain bloating. Additionally, positively influences mental health reducing stress improving mood, which can further relieve via gut-brain axis. Long-term interventions provide sustained benefits, maintaining stability, supporting immune functions, systemic inflammation. However, must be tailored individual needs avoid exacerbating symptoms. Personalized plans starting with low-to-moderate intensity gradually increasing maximize benefits minimize risks. This review examines impact various types intensities physical on patients, highlighting need for explore optimal protocols. Future research should include larger sample sizes, longer follow-up periods, examine synergistic effects other lifestyle modifications. Integrating into comprehensive management symptom control improve patients' quality life.

Microbes have inhabited the earth for hundreds of millions years longer than humans. The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA) represents a bidirectional communication pathway. These communications occur between central nervous system (CNS), enteric (ENS), and emotional cognitive centres brain. field research on gut-brain has grown significantly during past two decades. Signalling occurs gut microbiota brain through neural, endocrine, immune, humoral pathways. A substantial body evidence indicates that MGBA plays pivotal role in various neurological diseases. include Alzheimer's disease (AD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Rett syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), non-Alzheimer's neurodegeneration dementias, fronto-temporal lobe dementia (FTLD), Wilson-Konovalov (WD), multisystem atrophy (MSA), Huntington's chorea (HC), Parkinson's (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), amyotrophic lateral (ALS), temporal epilepsy (TLE), depression, schizophrenia (SCZ). Furthermore, correlation therapeutics will be discussed. Conversely, mood delivery, exercise, psychotropic agents, stress, neurologic drugs can influence MGBA. By understanding MGBA, it may possible to facilitate into microbial-based interventions therapeutic strategies

Background/objectives: recent studies have suggested that components typical of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) are associated with depression and anxiety prevention. In this sense, main objective study was to analyse associations between adherence MedDiet symptoms examine whether relationship is mediated by lean mass muscle strength index (MSI). Methods: a cross-sectional (based on data obtained from Nuts4Brain-Z study) conducted 2023–2024, involving 428 university students, aged 18–30 years, Spanish public university. Depression assessed using Beck Inventory (BDI-II), via General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) tool. Adherence MEDAS questionnaire. Lean bioimpedance, MSI measured dynamometer. ANCOVA models were used test mean differences in scores categories (low < 9 points vs high ≥ points). Serial multiple mediation models, adjusted for confounders, explore role relationships symptoms. Results: students exhibited lower (p 0.05) than did low MedDiet. The analysis preliminarily revealed both acted as mediators anxiety. Conclusion:adherence per se does not appear direct effect because these partially (for depression) or entirely anxiety) explained MSI.
