Gut Foundation

When people talk about their "gut," they refer to the digestive tract extending from the mouth to the rectum. It has many microscopic organisms that the naked eye can't see. The term "microbiota" describes all the microorganisms that share a specific habitat, while the word "microbiome" describes all the genes these species share.  Therefore, " gut microbiota " represents the extensive microbial population in the digestive tract. Why Do We Need Gut Microbiota? Food digestion, absorption, and metabolism are all aided by the bacteria in the gut. Conversely, gut bacteria are being investigated for their potential to affect weight, immunity, and, to a lesser extent, mental state.  It has been hypothesized that our gut flora affects almost every aspect of our physiology. The bacteria in the gut are still being studied, but they have an important role in how the body functions overall. To What End Is the Human Microbiota So Crucial? In ma
