Importance of Microbiome Diversity
- High diversity in the gut microbiome is crucial for health and functionality.
- Diversity supports genetic capabilities, infection resistance, immune system tutoring, and nutrient assimilation.
Western Gut Microbiome Diversity Lacks
- Healthy Western guts have around 130 to 300 viable microbial species.
- Hunter-gatherer tribes have up to 1,000 species, showing modern microbiomes lack diversity.
Boost Microbiome Diversity Naturally
- Increase dietary diversity, practice intermittent fasting, engage with nature, have pets, and avoid over-sterilizing your home.
- Manage stress consistently to enhance and maintain gut microbiome diversity.
