Abstract
We investigated the effect of lactic acid bacteria-containing beverage intake on the level of resilience against stress in male university students. Forty male university students were recruited into the study and randomly assigned into two groups. They were instructed to consume lactic acid bacteria-containing beverage or water twice a day for 28 days. The level of stress resilience, stress reaction, and anxiety were evaluated by a series of questionnaires conducted at three time points (T1: day 0, T2: day 14, and T3: day 28). The stress response was also assessed by measuring their salivary amylase levels. The variance analysis of each group showed a significant increase in stress resilience at T3 compared with T1 in the group of participants who consumed the lactic acid bacteria-containing beverage. Our results suggest that lactic acid bacteria-containing beverage intake could affect resilience against stress positively.Entities:
