Edit Microbiome

<div>Although the overall gut microbiota ecosystem is relatively stable having basically been established from early childhood it can change from day to day and there are many factors that can influence it. The biggest influence is provided through the food we eat – dietary changes can affect the composition of the microbiota within just 3 days – and there are studies which show that vegans have very different microbiota to people eating a diet high in animal products. Other important factors include sleep, physical activity, stress and medications.</div> <div> </div> <div>So, as can we have seen the microbiome appears to play a vital role in our health and well-being – it may have been considered in the past to be just a pile of poop but increasingly is being viewed as our “second brain”.</div>
