microbiome-associated diseases

Microbiome-associated diseases are health conditions linked to imbalances or changes in the community of microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi—that live in and on our bodies. These microbes help with digestion, immune function, and protecting against harmful pathogens. When their balance is disrupted, it can contribute to illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease, allergies, obesity, diabetes, and even mental health issues. Maintaining a healthy microbiome through diet, lifestyle, and medical care can support overall health and potentially prevent or manage these conditions.
