Understanding the Microbiome
The microbiome consists of a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, yeasts, and viruses, which inhabit various parts of the body, with the largest population found in the gut. These microorganisms play a significant role in essential bodily functions, influencing digestion, metabolism, mood, cognition, and immune responses. Their symbiotic relationship with humans means that both parties benefit; the microbes rely on nutrients from the human body while aiding in various physiological processes. Neglecting or damaging this delicate balance can lead to health issues, worsening existing conditions when not properly addressed.
