The adult education center invites you to a special reading with nutritionist and budding psychologist Lara Opfermann on Thursday, September 11, at 6 pm. Under the title Nourishing the soul - How the gut and brain talk to each other, interested parties will learn how diet and lifestyle can influence our mental health.

The so-called gut-brain axis is the focus of the event. It describes the close connection between the digestive system and the brain. Mental health problems such as stress, burnout or depression often go hand in hand with physical symptoms such as stomach and intestinal problems - and vice versa. The latest scientific findings show that our gut bacteria have a significant influence on the body's stress system. Lara Opfermann explains how these connections can be used specifically to relieve the psyche. With her self-developed nerve food method, she shows ways in which mental resilience can be strengthened through a conscious diet and a healthy lifestyle - in a completely natural and everyday way.

The event will take place at the adult education center, Hugo-Junkers-Weg 5, in Wolfsburg. Registrations can be made by calling the adult education center team on 05361 283900. Further information and online registration: at www.bildungshaus-wolfsburg.de.
