What is the gut microbiome?
The gut microbiome comprises all the little microbes living on and inside the human digestive tract. The research of the internal ecosystem that is the microbiome, or gut flora, is a new, but rapidly growing field. So much has been learnt from studying the effects of the microbiome on our health, that our understanding of the body and its processes is rapidly changing. The gut microbiome is highly adapted to live and thrive within the human gut, and has been linked to obesity, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and a range of other conditions.
The gut microbiome affects a range of processes in the human body, and in return is affected by our diet, environment, routines, and more. Exercise has been proven to benefit the microbiome, as well as eating plant-based foods, fibre-rich foods, probiotics, and avoiding highly processed foods as well as unnecessary antibiotics (as they kill the good as well as the bad bacteria). If you are wondering whether your gut microbiome is healthy at present, it might be time to reach out to book an appointment to properly test your gut flora.
