In early 2018, Australian researchers published a study in the Journal of Functional Foods, showing a connection between anxiety and stress levels and the consumption of yeast-based spreads (such as marmite, vegemite, promite, and aussiemite).

Stress is how our body deals with things it sees as threats. It’s how we prepare to run away from or confront danger. Unfortunately, many things that trigger stress in our lives today aren’t things that we can fight or flee.

Those aggravating things that go wrong in the day, those irritating things that go bump in the night – disrupting routines and interrupting sleep – all have a cumulative effect on your brain, especially its ability to remember and learn.
As science gains greater insight into the consequences of stress on the brain, the picture that emerges is not a pretty one. A chronic overreaction to stress overloads the brain with powerful hormones that are intended only for short-term duty in emergency situations.
American researchers published a paper in 2008 showing that a hearty laugh can reduce stress hormones.
The researchers studied 16 men for cortisol and catecholamine blood levels while they were fasting. They were split into two groups randomly: one for control and one for the experiment. They took blood from all the participants before the trial, 4 times during, and 3 times after.
