Gut Health: its Impact on Mental Health
he human gut is a complex ecosystem, known as the gut microbiome, that is home to trillions of microorganisms including bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses. This microbiome plays a crucial role in various bodily functions such as nutrient absorption, immune function, metabolism, and brain health. Factors such as diet, antibiotic use, and stress can disrupt the delicate balance of the gut microbiome, leading to a condition known as dysbiosis, which has been linked to digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, and obesity.
