Exploring the Impact of Gut Health and Microbiome Diversity
Scientists are uncovering the intricate connection between gut health and overall body systems up to the brain. The microbiome, composed of beneficial bacteria in the gut, varies in strain and quantity among individuals. It's crucial to maintain gut health due to the diverse roles of these bacteria in immune function, weight management, and disease prevention. While antibiotics can temporarily reduce good gut bacteria, replenishing them can be achieved through fiber-rich foods like beans, lentils, nuts, whole grains, oats, fruits, and vegetables. Probiotics in foods like yogurt can also support gut health, although their effectiveness in increasing beneficial bacteria remains uncertain.
