Food components and dietary habits: Keys for a healthy gut microbiota composition
Rinninella et al. (2019) state that the effects of these modern dietary habits and diets have on the microbiota in the gut are not fully understood yet, and it is possible that the intestinal barrier and the immune system can become compromised as a result. The aim of this review was to examine the impact of various components of foods (such as salt and food additives) and of a variety of dietary habits (vegan and vegetarian, gluten-free, ketogenic, high sugar, low FODMAP, Western-type, and Mediterranean diets) on gut microbiota composition, in the hopes of determining the optimal diet for a healthy assortment of gut microbiota.

National dietary guidelines worldwide have only begun to heed the surmounting evidence on the role of the gut microbiome and dietary intake on human physiology and dietary-related chronic diseases, which have now become an epidemic across the world. In this review by Armet et al. (2022), the authors present current discussions on novel dietary strategies, […]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is described as a chronic neurological condition that progresses over time and is linked to aging. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive deficits, memory impairments, and motor dysfunction. It is projected that 131.5 million individuals worldwide will suffer from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by 2050. Evidence suggests that food and gut microbiota […]
