How Long Is the Average Adults Gut?

New diets with names like vegan, cesso and palio have become very popular. What counts is not what you eat, but how your body reacts to it. Inside every one's gut are millions of microbes, tiny living organisms too small to see without a microscope. Some bad microbes help digest food, but they influence our bodies more than we know. Think of them as chemical factories that cause our individual reaction to the food we eat. This mix of gut microbes is unique and different for everyone, even identical twins. Doctors now recommend a personalized diet which fits your own unique combination of microbes.
