The Role of Gut Microbiome in Metabolism and Exercise Response

Recent research suggests that the composition of the gut microbiome plays a significant role in how individuals respond to diet and exercise.

For example, some people respond better to white bread than to whole grains, depending on their microbiome composition. Similarly, the microbiome can predict individual responses to exercise, with some people experiencing significant results while others do not. The findings highlight the personalized nature of the gut microbiome and its impact on diet and exercise outcomes.
