Microbiome and health

The microbiome refers to the community of tiny organisms, like bacteria and fungi, living in our body, especially in our gut. These microbes play a vital role in our health by helping digest food, produce vitamins, and support our immune system. A balanced microbiome contributes to overall well-being, while an imbalanced one—due to poor diet, antibiotics, or stress—can lead to issues like infections, allergies, or chronic diseases. Caring for our microbiome through a healthy diet, probiotics, and reducing unnecessary antibiotics can promote better health and resilience.
