Impact of Microbes on Aging
The accumulation of microbes and microbial products in places they shouldn't be is known as the microbial burden of aging. This burden can affect various aspects of health, such as gut barrier function, muscle mass and function, and even contribute to age-related diseases like Alzheimer's. The gut microbiome plays a significant role in influencing overall health, including muscle mass and function. It can also impact other systems in the body, such as the brain and kidneys. Additionally, the skin and oral microbiomes also undergo changes with age. These microbial imbalances can have far-reaching effects on systemic health and contribute to the aging process.
