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.

Eating behavior and circadian rhythms are closely interconnected. The type, timing, and amount of food consumed, along with the host’s circadian rhythms, directly affect the gut microbiota, which in turn influences circadian rhythms and regulates food intake beyond basic hunger responses. This opinion discussion by Soliz-Rueda et al. (2024) explores the effects of gut-brain axis […]
The gut microbiome makes use of several dietary elements for its homeostasis and functionality. Prebiotic fibers and polyphenol compounds found in dietary sources like nuts were demonstrated to have a favorable impact on the gut microbiome. In this systematic review by Fitzgerald et al. (2021), the authors searched prominent databases (PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, CINAHL, […]
