Large note: Your brain and gut are very sensitive and connected to eat other. Your gut microbes talk to your brain by vagus nerves and chemical messengers like serotonin.
Good bacteria: these help you… (etc,continue). Good bacteria will produce Short-chain fatty acids when digesting fiber. These acids reduce inflammation and feed your colon cells.
Gut Mircobiome
What is it: Your Microbiome well, it’s a whole system. But it helps you break down your food, absorb nutrients, breaks down fiber, makes fatty acids for your colon, helps immune system, make vitamins K&B, makes serotonin, effects ur emotions, avoids leaky gut,
Helps: Fiber (Chia seeds, fruit), Prebiotics(garlic, onions, leeks, bananas, asparagus), probiotics(yogurt, kimchi, miso), polyphenols(green tea, berries, dark chocolate). Eating a variety of at least 30 different plants a week is great. Exercise is important.
Deplete: processed foods, artificial sweeteners, antibiotics(wipe out ALL bacteria), stress, sleep quality, environment(?)
Effect: If your microbiome is a dumpster per se, this is called Dysbiosis, causing bloating, mood swings, skin issues.
Funfact: you can get poop transplants if yours is.. trash and someone’s is healthy, you can share. Sharing is caring guys. Also, 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut.
Research ideas -Do certain personalities correlate with microbiome composition? (Yes) -How early-life events (birth method, breastfeeding, etc.) permanently shape microbiomes. -Intermittent fasting effects on microbiota diversity. -Microbiome signatures in mental health disorders—depression, anxiety, even autism spectrum research. -Soil-based probiotics and the “hygiene hypothesis” (maybe you need to go outside and touch grass… literally).
