It’s no secret that eating yogurt is healthy for you. By now, you’ve probably heard of those beneficial probiotics this tasty snack delivers. They’ve been touted for everything from relieving digestive problems to boosting your immune system. But, did you know that getting a daily dose of probiotics by adding yogurt into your diet could be one of the best things you can do to boost your brain health?
