There are trillions of bacteria in your gut. The ecosystem of bacteria located within our bodies are called the microbiome. Gut microbiome regulates your immunity, appetite and inflammation.
Many diseases can be traced in some way back to the gut and health of the microbiome. Poor gut health can contribute to autoimmune diseases and disorders like arthritis, dementia, heart disease and cancer. The state of microbiomes are determined by the foods we eat, how we sleep and our stress levels.
Diet plays a big part in establishing gut health and supporting the microbiome’s good bacteria. Gut health can impact how your body extracts nutrients from your diet and stores fat. Gut microbiota seem to play an important role in obesity and changes in bacterial strains in the gut have been shown to lead to significant changes in health and body weight.
