The Microbiota and Its Impact on the Body
The community of microorganisms in your gut, known as your gut microbiota, plays a crucial role in more than just digestive health.
The state of your gut microbiome significantly impacts various aspects of your well-being, including immunity, mood, cognition, hormones, skin, bones, metabolism, and more.
One key to maintaining a healthy gut microbiome is fostering biodiversity. A diverse gut microbiota is linked to improved overall health, while a lack of microbial diversity can contribute to chronic health issues such as digestive problems, allergies, skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, and more.
So, how can you support a rich and diverse gut microbiota to promote long-term health? Start by understanding factors that reduce microbial diversity, including diet, environmental influences, medications, and stress.
Although these factors can negatively affect gut microbiome diversity, you can minimize their impact and actively enhance biodiversity through healthy practices.
