Conditions such as Parkinsons Disease, autism and stress are associated with the gut.

Consuming a varied high fibre diet is associated with a diverse and stable gut microbiome. Diets that exclude fibre (including low-FODMAPs and Gluten Free) and those which are consistently high in fats and sugar, can result in less beneficial bacteria and diversity.

We all harbour good and bad bacteria which impacts our health. Bifidobacteria are an important type of good bacteria and steps to increase this group are encouraged. Dietary prebiotics achieve this.

In turn, the bifidobacteria can protect against pathogens, stoke up immunity and decrease gut inflammation. Their metabolites can also impact upon systemic health such as cardiometabolic and cognitive issues.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DEFINITION OF A HEALTHY GUT MICROBIOME, DIVERSITY IS KEY.

Chronic inflammatory disease and obesity are associated with dysbiosis in the gut. More research is needed to find out whether dysbiosis is causative of or is a consequence of inflammation.
