Nature sub-journal: Eat more vegetables, intestinal bacteria will be healthier

are everywhere, it parasites in our skin, genitals, mouth, and especially intestines. Joshua Lederberg, a Nobel laureate in physiology or medicine, has said that microbes that live with the human body make up super-organisms. As the largest and most complex intestinal micro-ecosystem in the human body, its own and metabolites not only regulate human health, but also play an important role in the relationship between diet and host, so the study of intestinal microorganisms has attracted much attention., researchers from the University of Trento in Italy, King's College London and the Harvard School of Public Health published a long-term follow-up article in Nature Medicine entitled "Microbiome connections with host metabolism and habitual diet 1,098 deeply phenotyped individuals", which found that eating plant-based foods and healthy eating habits encourages the presence of beneficial microbes in the gut and reduces the risk of diseases such as obesity and diabetes.The study selected 1,203 gut microbiomes from 1,098 subjects in the United Kingdom and the United States, collected basic personal information, habitual dietary data, and physical health, and analyzed the relationship between their gut microbes, eating habits, and health through macrogenome sequencing of stool samples.Relationships between different foods and gut microbiomesThe researchers defined "healthy" foods as a mixture of foods associated with a low risk of chronic diseases, and found that subjects who ate this food and plant-based foods had higher levels of beneficial gut microbes, wherein contrast, highly processed plant-based food diets were more likely to be associated with harmful gut microbes.The relationship between plant and animal foods and the health of gut microbes In addition, the researchers found that gut microbes were associated with a higher risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and surprisingly, the gut microbiome was more associated with these metabolic-related diseases than other factors such as genetics.Relationship between obesity and gut microbesIn exploring the link between gut microbes and type 2 diabetes, the researchers also found that microbiomes rich in Plattella and Yeast were associated with good blood sugar levels after meals., of King's College London, said: "As a nutrition scientist, it is exciting to discover new microbes associated with specific foods and metabolic health. Given the highly personalized composition of each person's microbiome, research suggests that we may be able to optimize our health by choosing the food that best suits people. Linkpaper:
