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.

Trillions of viruses, bacteria, and fungi live in the digestive system and make up the gut microbiome. These communities are vulnerable to environmental stressors like disease or dietary modifications. Disruption of the Lactobaccillacea population, which produces lactic acid, has been linked to stress exposure and mood problems. In reality, these effects can be mitigated, and […]
This 2018 Polish article, translated into English, explains the phenomenon known as the “gut-brain axis” and mentions the growing knowledge on the links that exist between the gut microbiome with the development and functioning of the central nervous system. The strongest evidence for the role of microbes in the gut-brain axis comes from animal studies, […]
