Probiotics are live microorganisms exhibiting multiple properties beneficial to health. An increasing body of evidence indicates that probiotics may support healthy brain function and may relieve stress. Recent research in this area has examined lactic acid bacteria in detail, but little is known about the stress-relieving effects of Saccharomyces, a yeast with probiotic properties. Psychological stress is a factor that allows people to successfully cope with various daily life situations. On the other hand, excessive stress may lead to bodily harm and decrease performance, e.g. academic achievements. Probiotics may help manage stress, but little is known whether probiotics improve performance under stress. The aim of this trial is to examine whether the healthy medical students may demonstrate better performance in academic examinations when supplementing their diet with a yeast probiotic strain Saccharomyces boulardii (CNCM I-1079) or bacterial probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103). The secondary aim of the trial is to evaluate the potential effects of this supplementation on state anxiety as well as on biochemical and physiological stress markers.
This research project deals with stress treatment in the form of garden therapy in the therapy garden Nacadia. The therapy Garden Nacadia has an evidence-based design that is specially designed for the treatment of stressed people. Nacadia-therapy can be described as a process in which the patient's health and well-being is assumed to enhance by the presence of the natural environment and through participating in meaningful gardening activities.

The outcome measures for example consist of: ability to return to work, health care use, psychological measurements related to stress, health, quality of life and changes in medication use. Further, exploratory studies of the garden therapy in the form of observations and interviews will be performed, to get a better understanding of the garden and the garden activities' importance for the therapeutic purposes. Hypothesis: - garden therapy, in a designed natural environment, will lead to improved health and well-being for people who are off sick with stress-related disorders
